Quartz Crystal Microbalance Analysis: 1. Evidence of Anion or Cation Insertion into Electropolymerized Conducting Polymers
Abstract
The mass change during electropolymerization and redox process was monitored for polypyrrole films using Quartz Crystal Microbalance Gravimetry. During reduction process the polypyrrole films which had incorporated large poly(4-styrene-sulfonate) anions showed a mass increase instead of decrease (cation doping). On the other hand, the polypyrrole film formed with a small ClO4 anion showed a mass decrease (anion doping). Quartz crystal microbalance, Conducting polymer, Battery, Polypyrrole.
