Two basic charge-storage mechanisms
Double-layer capacitance
(Activated carbon)
(Metal oxides & Conducting Polymers)
Capacitance arises from charge

electrode/electrolyte interface

Electropolymerization of Polypyrrole
Diaz’s mechanism
Said Sadki et al., Chem. Soc. Rev., 2000, 29,283-293
1. Oxidation of monomer
Forms cation radical on application
of anodic potential
Different resonance forms
Greater unpaired electron density in α-position
2. Coupling between radicals

6. Final polymer product
On continues propagation of above sequence,
final polymer product is obtained
 Electropolymerization doesn’t give neutral non-conducting polypyrrole
but its oxidized conducting form (doped)
 Final polymer chain has a positive charge which is counter balanced by anion
 Films obtained consists of 65% polymer and 35% anion by weight

Conclusions
• Electropolymerization method has been developed
for the fabrication of PPY coatings on stainless steel
• The electropolymerization mechanism in the
presence of CHR and Gallic acid has been
investigated.
• Films prepared from CHR showed better capacitive
behavior than the one prepared from Gallic acid.
• The highest specific capacitance was 341 F/g when
CHR is used as additive at optimized deposition
conditions.
• The films prepared by the electropolymerization
method are promising materials for application in
electrochemical supercapacitors using low cost
stainless steel current collectors.
