Electrochemical polymerization of aniline and 3-methylthiophene has been accomplished in 1-methylimidazium tetrafluoroborate （HMIMBF4） ionic liquid. Homopolymer and copolymers of aniline and 3-methylthiophene were obtained successfully. The copolymer was studied by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The formation of copolymer has been confirmed by FT-IR and UV spectra. The atomic force microscope （AFM） was used for microstructural analysis. Both the homopolymer and the copolymer had the catalytic activity for the hydroquinone.
