摘要

In this research, the modification of Ti/SnO2 electrodes was explored as a strategy to overcome their inherent limitations in electrochemical oxidation processes, particularly in the context of wastewater treatment. To achieve this, a conductive polymer layer of Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was introduced onto the electrode surface with the aim of enhancing conductivity. A combination of advanced characterization methods, including morphological and electrochemical analyses, was applied to evaluate the effect of this polymer modification. The results revealed that the presence of the PEDOT layer significantly improved the electrode’s conductivity and provided better durability. These findings indicated that polymer-modified electrodes possessed strong potential for future application in wastewater treatment technologies and warranted further investigation and development.
