Abstract

Poly(4-aminodiphenylamine), Padpa, film was synthesized electrochemically on a glassy carbon electrode by potentiodynamic repetitive cycling of 4‑aminodiphenylamine (4adpa) in 1.0 M HCl. The mechanistic steps involved the oxidation of the protonated monomer to  diimine species which underwent dimerization process to form the mono-charged radical intermediate which was considered as the initiation step for the progress of polymerization. The electrochemical properties and surface morphology of the film modified electrode were characterized using electrochemical and various surface scanning techniques. The XPS data demonstrated the existence of (=N-) bonding responsible for polymer formation, while the AFM image revealed a uniform and symmetrical fiber structure with low energy dissipation. The modified electrode was primarily applied as an environmental sensor for the simultaneous and selective determination of Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions in water samples. The detection limit for Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions was found 25 and 14 mg L-1, respectively.
