Nucleation and Growth of Thin Films of the Organic Conductor TTF-Iodide over Glassy Carbon. Electrochemical and Spectroelectrochemical Study
On the basis of the electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical behavior of thin Films of TTF over a glassy carbon electrode in iodide media, a new, more complete mechanism for the electrode processes involved is proposed. The voltammetric and chronoamperometric results for the films can be explained in light of a recently developed nucleation-growth model involving a layer-by-layer mechanism. Also, their in situ UV-vis spectral data expand the available knowledge about the overall mechanism and the nature of the compound formed over the glassy carbon electrode.
