A novel fabrication of a polymeric ionic liquid hybrid film modified electrode and its successful application to the electrogeneration of a superoxide anion in aqueous media

A novel polymeric ionic liquid hybrid film-modified electrode, in which the electrode surface is coated with a hydrophobic hybrid material composed of an ionene polymer with quaternary ammonium sites in its polymeric backbone and ionic liquids, was fabricated by electropolymerization of N, N-dimethylaniline in a hydrophobic ionic liquid, which can be applied for the electrogeneration of a superoxide anion via one-electron reduction of O-2 in aqueous media.
