Electrochemical Polymerization and Electrochromic Properties of Poly(3-methoxythiophene)/NiO Composite Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

Poly(3-methoxythiophene)/NiO (PMOT/NiO) composite films were electrochemically synthesized on a ITO surface in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-metyllimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM]PF6) by a potentiodynamic polymerization method. The PMOT/NiO composite films were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis(EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemistry properties of the prepared film was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. Spectroelectrochemistry and electrochromic properties of the PMOT/NiO composite were characterized using various experiment techniques in [BMIM]PF6.
