CAS 51325-03-2 Polypyrrole, polymer-supported

Application

Polypyrrole, a conductive and highly stable polymer, serves a pivotal role as a reactant in the synthesis of eco-friendly cellulose-derived carbon aerogels. Its versatility stems from its ability to function in a broad range of applications, including serving as electrode materials in sensors for electrocardiography (ECG), and forming electrode materials for diverse energy storage solutions. Additionally, Polypyrrole finds utility in encapsulating lithium sulfide as a high-performance cathode material. The polymer can be synthesized through standard electrochemical techniques or by reacting 𝛾-naphthalene sulfonic acid with ammonium peroxo-disulphate in an aqueous medium. The surface charges of Polypyrrole can be modified by doping during synthesis, which affects its solubility and conductivity. This adaptability enhances its electrosensitivity and lowers its oxidation potential, making Polypyrrole particularly useful in drug delivery systems, chemical sensors, batteries, ion-selective electrodes, and biosensor and biochemistry research. Its primary use is in the fabrication of various electrochemical devices, such as supercapacitors, chemical sensors, dye-sensitized solar cells, and lithium-ion batteries, highlighting its significance in advancing technology for sustainable solutions.
