A new electrochromic copolymer based on 4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c] [1,2,5]thiadiazole and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene was successfully obtained via the electrochemical polymerization method in the medium of electrolyte solution, which consists of 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate and dichloromethane. In order to compare the electrochemical and chemical properties of the copolymer, the benzothiodiazole derivative and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) monomers, which are parts of the copolymer, are electrochemically polymerized, separately in the same environment and concentration with the copolymer. Poly(4,7-di(thiophen- 2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole) (P(TBT)) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) polymers were obtained. Before starting the electrochemical synthesis, the initial oxidation potentials of the monomers that form the copolymer were compared via the …
