Tiivistelmä
The nature of the interface between electrogenerated poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and the Au substrate is studied in detail. In particular, the adsorption of the relevant monomer, namely, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, is investigated and compared with that of other thiophene derivatives. Different deposition procedures have been adopted: very thin films of the thiophene derivatives have been obtained through chemisorption processes from vapor and liquid phases, on Au polycrystalline substrates, Au nanoparticles possessing different size, and a Au(111) single crystal. Different techniques, operating both in situ and ex situ, have been employed for the characterization of these deposits, that is, X-ray photoemission and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The results show that the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/metal interface is far from being simply constituted by unreacted molecules in contact with the substrate; rather, the formation of oligothiophene species and sulfur atoms at the interface has been ascertained.
