Abstract
The chemical syntheses and properties of seven conducting polymer/polyanion composites are reviewed, and results on the use of two of these materials (PPY/PSS anti PEDOT/PSS; PPY = polypyrrole, PSS = poly(styrene-4-sulphonate ), PEDOT = poly(3,4-ethylenedionythiaphene)) in supercapacitors are present ed. Use of a conducting polymer/polyanion supported catalyst in a proton-ex change membrane fuel cell is reported for the first time. Four of the compo sites (PPY/Nafion, PEDOT/Nafion, polyaniline/PSS and poly (3-methylthiophen e)/PSS) are previously unreported as chemically synthesized powders.
