Abstract:

Study on pyrrole electropolymerization is the preliminary step in synthesizing polypyrrole membranes, which can be used for various purposes in biosensor. In this work, electropolymerization process and electrochemical analysis of polypyrrole as an electroactive polymer have been studied by cyclic voltammetry. Pyrrole was electropolymerized to form polypyrrole in an aqueous potassium chloride solution at different pHs using phosphate buffer. The results showed that a potential range of 0-1200 mV is suitable for polypyrrole electropolymerization using the Ag|AgCl electrode as the reference. The formation of polypyrrole is stable at a scan rate of 100 mV/s. In addition, the optimized pyrrole electropolymerization was obtained using 0.1 M pyrrole and phosphate buffer at pH of 2-6. Taken together, this study can be used as a reference for the synthesis of other conducting polymers.
