Dye Electropolymerization for Electrochemical Analysis. A Brief Review

Conducting polymers are among the most used organic materials so far. Their use as electrode modifiers in electroanalysis includes the active intervention in the electroanalytical process, like electrochemical transfer mediation, which increases the affinity between the electrode and the analyte. The conjugated dyes are one of the most popular monomers for electrochemical polymerization. This work brings a brief review of the dye electropolymerization technique and the use of dye polymeric coatings in electrochemical sensing.
