Polypyrrole (PPy)film formation was achieved only in PC with TsO- anions and when the zinc electrode was chemically or electrochemically treated with heteropolyanions (HPA), such as (H2WlsO56F6)Hs-9H20, P2W18062H6-9H20 and PWI204oH 3. In other media, electropolymerization failed and the zinc electrode was oxidized to Zn 2รท. Analysis of the films by IR, Raman, XPS and SEM confirmed that standard PPy films were obtained with a conductivity of about 30 S cm-1. Adhesion of PPy to the substrate was relatively poor but could be improved drastically by thermal treatment UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pHvQDAUQvs06bD_SkoRTNuNhIGGKnZ_z/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
