Abstract
The rate of deactivation of electrochemically generated polypyrrole du ring charge-discharge cycles in water has been studied using ferrocyan ide-ferricyanide as an 'indicator' redox couple. Evidence is found for a two-stage oxidative deactivation process, at least part of which is reversible.
