Abstract

Poly-Cu(v-bpy)2(ClO4)2 was electrochemically implanted into a polypyrrole-polymer matrix at levels of 10 to 12% in order to improve the electrical properties of the electrode. To increase the porosity and orientation of the pyrrole polymer, the electrode was pretreated with nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and PF -6 was the dopant anion. The presence of poly-Cu(v-bpy) 2+2 enhanced the doping level to 65.6%, the conductivity by a factor of two, and the carrier concentration by a factor of ten. However, the cyclability was reduced by half, relative to polypyrrole alone, and the doping/undoping efficiency was diminished slightly from 0.94 (for polypyrrole alone) to 0.90.
