Abstract

The behavior of novel electroactive material based on reduced graphene oxide (RGO), poly-o-phenylenediamine (PPD), and silicotungstic acid (SiW) is studied using the methods of cyclic voltammetry (CVA) and electrochemical impedance. It is found that graphene oxide (GO) has a catalytic effect on the electrochemical codeposition of PPD and SiW onto the GO film during fabricating the RGO–PPD–SiW composite. It is shown that the composite has at least six redox transitions depending on the chosen range of cycling potentials. It is found that, at the potentials of 200 and 500 mV (Ag/AgCl), the conductivity of the composite is by 4 orders of magnitude higher than that of PPD. By the example of quinone-hydroquinone and ferro-ferricyanide redox reactions, it is shown that, in this potential range, the composite exhibits electrocatalytic properties, though neither PPD nor SiW individually exhibit pronounced redox transitions in this potential range.
