Terpyridine-based metallopolymer thin films as active layer in ammonia sensor device
Résumé
A metal-containing polymer has been prepared by electropolymerization of an homoleptic Ru(II)-
terpyridine complex bearing pyrrole heterocycles. The polymer is obtained as a thin
film at the surface of
electrodes, and has been characterized by electrochemical measurements, XPS and microscopy. It has
been shown that this polymer acts as an active gas sensitive layer since it enables the detection of an
ammonia gas
flow through layer’s resistivity measurements.
