Abstract
Acid concentration can profoundly affect the redox behavior and stability of polypyrrole film in sulfuric acid solution. The electrochemical characteristics during the redox process of polypyrrole films prepared with p-toluenesulfonate were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The redox stability was studied by recurrent potential pulses experiments in different concentrations of sulfuric acid. The reduction charge value ( Q red), the ratio of the reduction and oxidation charges ( Q red/ Q ox) were calculated from the experiments to exclude the polypyrrole films’ redox stability with the time and the reversibility of the reduction/oxidation process. FT-IR and SEM were used to study the structure and morphology change of ppy films treated by different concentrated sulfuric acid solutions, respectively.
