Abstract:
The influence of different polymerization conditions and electrochemical processes provoked by soaking on the potentiometric sensitivity of conducting polymer films is discussed. Poly(pyrrole) doped with hexacyanoferrate(II) is selected as a model polymer. It is shown that, depending on the conditions applied during film deposition and soaking, either anionic or cationic potentiometric responses can be observed and related to the composition of the film. The potentiometric sensitivity of the conducting polymer films is analyzed and interpreted by means of generalized theoretical schema.

The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is a widely used reference electrode that maintains zero potential across all temperatures. However, its need for a continuous hydrogen gas supply renders it impractical for everyday use.
An alternative to SHE is the Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). This electrode features an...
