Abstract: In aqueous acidic solutions, thiophene undergoes low polymerization at first, and then the low polymer can be oxidized to form a film. The light can promote the low polymer formation. The thiophene can be selectively photoelectropolymerized on substrates, such as Pt, Au. Apolythiophene film with clear light-points can be formed below the threshold of voltage for electropolymerization of thiophene under normal condition.
