| Abstrakt: | In this paper, the electrochemical degradation of polypyrrole film was studied by means of overpotential application. The overpotential was 0.58 V versus SCE, and after every 5 min of application of 0.58 V, a cyclic voltammogram was recorded in the range of -0.7 to 0.5 V as well as an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EIS and EQCM). The main characteristic is the huge increase in the charge transfer resistance (r(ct)), which indicates that the insertion process of ions in the polymer matrix is hindered by the electrochemical degradation. Once the process of insertion is damaged, the number of intercalated ions in the matrix should decrease, which is expressed by the low-frequency capacitance, which is proportional to the number of intercalated ions in the polymeric matrix. The decrease of intercalated ions has an influence in the mass variation of the polymer film, which is confirmed by EQCM measurements. (© 2011 American Chemical Society) |
