چکیده انگلیسی
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is employed to monitor the surface morphology of polypyrrole (PPy) films grown on vitreous carbon substrates during the catalytic reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The morphology of freshly-prepared films depends on substrate characteristics. Upon reaction, uniform nodules of aggregated PPy clusters appear. No significant differences in surface morphology are found between its oxidized and reduced forms. Loss of catalytic activity after 8-9 oxidation/reduction cycles of exposure to the chromate solution (oxidation) and electrochemical recharging of the film at negative potentials (reduction) correlates well with the observed polymer film dissolution/detachment from the carbon substrate. Formation of well-defined circular features (PPy rings) at different stages leads to a model for the film degradation process that includes formation of Cl2 gas inside the polymer matrix. In the final stages, the bulk of the film typically fractures and detaches from the electrode. A catalytically inactive, ultrathin PPy layer remains on the substrate even after prolonged exposure to the target solution. A review of techniques for the study of PPy aging/degradation is given.
