Abstract
Polythiophene and other conductive polymers can be obtained by electropolymerization from various solvents, of which boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE) is preferably used. In this solvent, electropolymerization can be performed at significantly lower potentials and therefore milder conditions, from which polymers with improved properties result. However, their quality cannot easily be reproduced. We discovered the mechanism behind the...
