Abstract

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to monitor the surface composition of polyanilines electrochemically synthesized at various applied potentials. It was found that the degree of protonation of the nitrogen was constant over the voltage range studied. Three chlorine chemical environments were identified in Cl 2p core level spectra (one covalent and two ionic) and the relative contributions to the total chlorine signal were observed to be dependent on the applied potential.
