Abstract

Graphite oxide (GO)/polypyrrole (PPy) composites (GPs) and 1,5-naphthalene disulfonic acid (1,5-NDA) doped GPs (1,5-NGPs) have been successfully synthesized via in situ polymerization of pyrrole on GO. The conductivity of 1,5-NGPs is as high as 7 S/cm, seven orders of magnitude higher than that of pristine GO. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show PPy “dressed” on the surface of GO layers, while Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses confirm the interaction between GO and PPy. The results of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and heat treatment at 1000 °C show that the “dressed” PPy on the surface of GO layers in GPs and 1,5-NGPs has effectively prevented the deflagration of GO.
