Poly(4-fluoro-2-methoxyphenol) has been synthesized using horseradish peroxidase biocatalyst in a buffer/1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliumtetrafluoroborate solvent mixture. Experimental observations indicate that the enzymatically synthesized polyfluorophenol is a suitable photoconductive material. The photocurrency obtained under 532nm light intensity is about 0.82W/cm². The work is relevant to the use of enzymes to produce polymeric materials with potential uses as components in photoelectronic devices owing to polymer characteristics in its mild and eco-friendly production process.
