Abstract Conducting polymers are currently attracting significant interest worldwide because of their potential applications in energy storage devices, electrochromic devices, and light emitting diodes. Electrochemical synthesis of conducting polymers offers several advantages; rapidity, simplicity, generation of the polymer in the doped state and easy control of the amount (film thickness) generated. In this study, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, EQCM (electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance) and ultraviolet–visible spectroelectrochemistry have been performed to look at the processes of electropolymerization of the thiophene-based compounds and their electrochemical behavior. Cyclic voltammetry is used to characterize and polymerize the monomers. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows surface property of the polymer-coated electrode. EQCM exhibits the amount of polymer attached to the electrode surface. Ultraviolet–visible spectroelectrochemistry is used to know how the optical properties of the conducting polymers and the monomer change.
