Gas sensitivity of polypyrrole films to NO2

Abstract

We have shown that the gas sensitivity of electropolymerized polypyrrole films to NO2 in an N2 atmosphere at room temperature is enhanced by the elimination of dopant anions using an electrochemical reduction procedure. Fourier-transform infrared spectra of polypyrrole films which had been reduced and then exposed to NO2 showed that NO2 species were produced by the exposure to NO2, indicating that the gas sensitivity results mainly from chemical doping by NO2.
