Redox-magnetohydrodynamics (R-MHD) microfluidics precisely manipulates fluid flow through strategic placement/activation of electrodes and magnetic fields. This paper evaluates various conditions of potentiodynamic electrodeposition of poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT) films on chip-based, gold electrodes to attain maximum current and charge density, which correlate directly to R-MHD pumping speed and duration in a single direction, respectively. Electrodeposition of PEDOT was controlled by cyclic voltammetry (CV)(5, 50, and 100 mV/s) in propylene carbonate (PC) solutions of monomer and TBAPF 6 or LiClO 4 electrolyte. The maximum charge is directly proportional to cycle number and inversely proportional to scan rate (ie time spent oxidizing monomer). Thicker and rougher films formed from PC: TBAPF 6, compared to PC: LiClO 4. CV, chronoamperometry (CA), chronopotentiometry, and impedance spectroscopy assessed the electrochemical performance of films in aqueous electrolytes. The maximum current during CA in a given aqueous electrolyte for PEDOT films was independent of electrodeposition parameters and thickness and increased linearly with ionic strength. A three-stage model describes the oxidative response of thick PEDOT films. R-MHD fluid speeds and pumping durations at 0.37 T in 780-μm-deep phosphate-buffered saline were 50 μm/s and 210 s at 50 μA and 820 μm/s and 9 s at 800 μA, respectively, between parallel-band-electrodes, modified with the thickest films.
