Abstract
The electrochemical coating of poly(3-octylthiophene) on carbon materials was studied in order to investigate the application possibility of the modified carbon materials in the photoelectronic devices. Commercial carbon paper and carbon fiber were used as substrate electrodes for electrochemical coating. The coating behaviors were analysed with the variation of monomer and electrolyte concentration, applied potential, and cycling number in cyclovoltammetry. The coating rate of poly(3-octylthiophene) formed on the substrate were proportional to the monomer and electrolyte concentration, applied potential, and cycling number with each independent exponent. The structure and morphology of electrochemically polymerized poly(3-octylthiophene) was investigated with scanning electron microscopy and FTIR reflectance measurement.
