Redox Properties of Poly (aniline boronic acid) in Aqueous Environment with Glucose and Table Sugar Addition

Abstract

Polyaniline boronic acid, a conducting polymer with unique properties, has gained attention for its potential applications in batteries, sensors, drug delivery systems, and electrochemical devices. Understanding the redox behavior of this polymer in the presence of sugars is of particular interest due to the potential implications for its functionality in various applications. Cyclic voltammetry is employed to analyze the redox behavior of the polymer in aqueous solutions with glucose and table sugar. Preliminary results suggest that the presence of glucose improves, and table sugar declines the peak values. The diffusion coefficient of the polymer is found as 2.6x10-9 cm2/s. The choice of supporting electrolyte, exemplified by potassium carbonate and potassium chloride, also exhibited an influence on redox behavior of polyaniline boronic acid, and peak potential and peak values are higher in potassium chloride solutions.
