Redox reaction of disulfide polyaniline in aqueous solution

The cleavage and formation of the di sulfide bond of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMcT) were examined in an aqueous solution of pH value from 0 to 14 with and without polyaniline (PAn), The redox reaction of DMcT was accelerated by PAn in acidic condition. The cell using this anodic material was set-up and characterized in aqueous electrolyte.
