By cycling voltammetry the thin layers of polyaniline on mechanically polished Nb electrode from sulfuric aqueous solutions with aniline added were deposited. During the repetitive voltammetric scans, by simultaneous in-situ Raman spectroscopical measurements, the redox reactions and formation of degradation production in polymer film were investigated. It was found that the new monitored voltammetric waves appear only when the polyaniline reaches an over-oxidized state. The comparative measurements on Pt electrode in sulfuric aqueous solutions with aniline and TiO2 nano-particles added were also performed. It was shown that the TiO2 nano-particles inhibits the formation of degradation products.
