8. Electrosynthesis and electrochemical examinations were carried out on a PARC M-273 potentiostat by using SS sheets as the working and counterelectrodes and Ag/AgCl, directly in the solution, as the reference electrode. BFEE containing 10-30 mM thiophene was used as the electrolyte. All the solutions were deaerated by bubbling dry argon through them and maintaining a light overpressure during the film growth process. For a detailed description, see [5].

A couple of redox waves present between 0.3 and 1.7 V on each CV cycle are attributed to the redox process of the polymer film adhering to the electrode surface.
