Hc. Sun et Bt. Sun, SOME DYNAMIC REGRESSION SIMULATED EQUATIONS FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL DOPING PROCESSES OF POLYPYRROLE, Journal of Applied Electrochemistry, 23(7), 1993, pp. 741-744
Polypyrrole films in the oxidized state are positively charged, so the
anions of sulphuric acid and p-toluensulphonic acid with a certain el
ectrochemical activity were selected as dopants for the polypyrrole fi
lm. When the anions were electrochemically incorporated in commercial
polypyrrole films at constant temperature (20-degrees-C) and constant
voltage (3.0 V), the conductivities increased from 67 to 165 and 94 S
cm-1, respectively. Dynamic regression simulation of the electrochemis
try of the doping process was performed. A new parameter, r, was intro
duced, and the dynamic equation dS(A)/dC(t) = f(S(A)) for the electroc
hemical doping of the polypyrrole films with sulphuric acid and p-tolu
ensulphonic acid was obtained.
