Preparation of the flexible polypyrrole/polypropylene composite fibrous film for electrochemical capacitor

Polypyrrole (PPy)/polypropylene fibrous membrane (PPF) composite materials with different PPy contents are prepared through in situ chemical oxidation polymerization in the pyrrole atmosphere at room temperature by dissolving the FeCl₃·6H₂O in methanol and acetonitrile as oxidant. The morphology of the composite is examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the conductivities of the composites are measured by convenient four‐probe method, and the properties of the capacitor cells assembled by the obtained PPy/PPF are investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The results show that the morphology, conductivity, and the capacitor property of the composite are influenced strongly by the solvent of the oxidant. The capacitor assembled by the PPy/PPF prepared by using acetonitrile as the solvent for FeCl₃^.6H₂O can adapt for quick charge/discharge, and exhibit the highest capacitance of about 72.5 F g^?1 when the PPy content is about 8.0%. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and characterization of coaxial halloysite/polypyrrole tubular nanocomposites for electrochemical energy storage

Halloysite nanotubes/polypyrrole (HNTs/PPy) nanocomposites with coaxial tubular morphology for use as electrode materials for supercapacitors were synthesized by the in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method based on self-assembled monolayer amine-functionalized HNTs. The HNTs/PPy coaxial tubular nanocomposites were characterized with transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), electrical conductivity measurement at different temperatures, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements. The coaxial tubular nanocomposites showed their greatest conductivity at room temperature and a weak temperature dependence of the conductivity from 298 K to 423 K. A maximum discharge capacity of 522 F/g after correcting for the weight percent of the PPy phase at a current density of 5 mA cm⁻² in a 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ electrolyte could be achieved in a half-cell setup configuration for the HNTs/PPy composites electrode, suggesting its potential application in electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors.

Preparation and characterization of polypyrrole/selenium composites

This article reports synthesis of polypyrrole (PPy) and its composites having various amounts of selenium (Se) in the presence of nitric acid in aqueous medium via chemical oxidative polymerization. Samples were spectroscopically characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy, and atomic absorption spectroscopy. Although morphology of the samples was examined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), their thermal properties were studied via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The alternating current (ac) conductivity and dielectric properties were investigated as a function of temperature. Variation of adsorption free energy obtained from Langmuir adsorption isotherm showed that metal cations were physically adsorbed onto the polymer surface. SEM images showed that filling process significantly changes the morphology of PPy. DSC results indicated that cold crystallization temperature (T_cc) of unfilled PPy decreases with increasing filling level. Dielectric measurements showed that relaxation times for PPy and its composites have decreased linearly with increasing temperature. The conductivity of the PPy, when filled with 1 g of Se, increased ～ four times at room temperature for 1 kHz. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2013. © 2012 Society of Plastics Engineers

Preparation and characterization of graphite oxide/polypyrrole composites

Graphite oxide (GO)/polypyrrole (PPy) composites (GPs) and 1,5-naphthalene disulfonic acid (1,5-NDA) doped GPs (1,5-NGPs) have been successfully synthesized via in situ polymerization of pyrrole on GO. The conductivity of 1,5-NGPs is as high as 7 S/cm, seven orders of magnitude higher than that of pristine GO. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show PPy “dressed” on the surface of GO layers, while Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses confirm the interaction between GO and PPy. The results of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and heat treatment at 1000 °C show that the “dressed” PPy on the surface of GO layers in GPs and 1,5-NGPs has effectively prevented the deflagration of GO.

Perfluorinated lubricant/ polypyrrole composite material: Preparation and corrosion inhibition application

Chronoamperometry technique was used to prepare polypyrrole onto low alloy steel surface from aqueous solutions. The morphology and composition of the as‐obtained deposit was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and Fourier‐transform infrared techniques. The dendritic polymer could be realized at the high potential and favorable mass transfer conditions. Contact angle tests proved that the polypyrrole with rough surfaces had small contact angles. After the modification with the 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H‐perfluorooctyl trichlorosilane, the values of contact angles of polypyrrole reached up to ca. 130°. The consequent infusion of perfluorinated lubricant into the hydrophobic matrix led to a composite material. Potentiodynamic polarization tests in 3.5 wt % NaCl solution revealed that low alloy steel covered with this composite material raised the corrosion potential more than 1000 mV and decreased the corrosion current density ca. 3 orders, suggesting that the perfluorinated lubricant/ polypyrrole composite material behaved as a good candidate for corrosion inhibition. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and electrochemical behaviors of polymeric composite electrolytes containing mesoporous silicate fillers

In the present study, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based polymeric composite electrolytes (PCEs) had been prepared by using a different content of mesoporous silicate MCM-41, in order to examine the filler addition effect on the microstructural and electrochemical properties. The interactions between MCM-41 and PEO matrix were studied by XRD, DSC, and SEM techniques. The electrochemical properties of the PCEs, such as ionic conductivity, its temperature dependence, and lithium transference number were investigated. MCM-41 could maintain the pore structure effectively, resulting in nanocomposites that were homogeneously complexed with the PEO chains. The PCEs with 8 wt.% MCM-41 showed the smallest crystallinity, 30.4%. Accordingly, those PCEs showed the highest ion conductivity, 1.2 × 10⁻⁴ S/cm, a two-order-of-magnitude higher value than that of the pristine PEO-LiClO₄. This might have reflected decreased crystallinity and improved ion transport. Furthermore, those PCEs showed an increased Li ion transference number of ∼0.5. In conclusion, the filler addition could enhance the ionic conductivity and increase the Li ion transference number at the same time.

Preparation and thermal characterization of expanded graphite/paraffin composite phase change material

Expanded graphite (EG)/paraffin composite phase change materials (PCMs), with mass fraction of EG varying from 0 to 10 wt.%, were prepared and characterized. Polarizing optical microscope investigation showed that compact EG networks formed gradually with increase in the mass fraction of EG. These networks provided thermal conduction paths which enhanced the thermal conductivity of the composite PCMs, e.g., an addition of 10 wt.% EG resulting in a more than 10-fold increase in the thermal conductivity compared to that of pure paraffin. Thermal characterization of the composite PCMs with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) revealed the effect of the porous EG on the phase change behavior of paraffin. The shifts in the phase change temperatures were observed. The maximum deviation of the melting/freezing points of the composite PCMs from that of pure paraffin was 1.2 °C whereas that of the peak melting/freezing temperature was 5.6 °C. The DSC investigation also showed an anomaly in the latent heat of the paraffin in the composite PCMs in that it first increased and then decreased with increase in the EG fraction. Heat storage/retrieval tests of the composite PCMs in a latent thermal energy storage system showed that the heat storage/retrieval durations for EG(10)/paraffin(90) composite were reduced by 48.9% and 66.5%, respectively, compared to pure paraffin, which indicated a great improvement in the heat storage/retrieval rates of the system.

Preparation and characterization of composites of polypyrrole

In this paper, we report the preparation and characterization of composites of polypyrrole (PPy) with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and cellulose. We used the techniques of chemical and electrochemical polymerization. These materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (wide and small angle (SAXS)), electrical conductivity and electron microscopy. The studies showed that homogeneous composites could be formed. The percentage crystallinity of the host polymer decreased, whereas some crystallization of PPy was noticed. SAXS studies revealed that the diffusion of PPy is in amorphous regions. The electrical conductivity of the composites was found to vary in the range of 10^?8 S/cm to 10^?4 S/cm. These composites were found to be useful in gas sensors for detection of chlorine and ammonia.
