Electrooxidation of methanol was realised on platinum and perchlorate anion
doped polypyrrole film electrodes in acidic media. A systematic kinetic in
vestigation was performed and optimum experimental conditions for the prepa
ration of the electrocatalytic system were determined. The presence of ClO4
- anions was confirmed by XPS analysis of the doped polymer matrix. (C) 200
