ABSTRACT: An electrochemically synthesized thiophene− pyrrole (Th-Py) copolymer was characterized by various techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy-dispersive Xray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Electrical conductivity, pH point of zero charge (pHPZC), and surface area measurements by the Brunauer−Emmett− Teller (BET) method were also carried out. The particle size
