Preparation of polythiophene, useful e.g. in telecommunication technology, for the preparation of solid electrolytes and electrodes, comprises oxidative polymerization of thiophene using hypervalent iodine compound as oxidizing agent

摘要

Preparation of polythiophene comprises oxidative polymerization of thiophene or its derivative using at least a hypervalent iodine compound as oxidizing agent. Independent claims are included for a preparation of a dispersion- or a conductive layer- containing the polythiophene (optionally substituted) comprising oxidative polymerization of optionally substituted thiophene compound or its derivative in the presence of at least a solvent and optionally at least a counter ion, using a hypervalent iodine compound as oxidizing agent.
