Abstract
The behavior of copper electrodes in aqueous salicylate solutions is studied by cyclic voltammetry. The results suggest that copper undergoes partial anodic passivation through the deposition of a copper(II) salicylate compound. Evidence for the formation of this layer is also given by the data obtained from surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Such a film appears to be responsible for the successful growth of polypyrrole films on copper in salicylate media.
