Abstract
In this work, a cellulosic paper substrate (Pap) coated by in situ polymerization of polypyrrole (PPY) was designed. This paper was subsequently coated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The properties of the obtained silver nanoparticle-polypyrrole (AgNP-PPY) composite were characterized using FTIR-ATR spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical properties of the obtained electrodes were studied by voltamperometry technique (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (SIE). Results demonstrated the development of low-cost flexible cellulosic paper electrode materials in aqueous solutions with unique high performance electrocatalytic properties. The performance of the conductive cellulosic paper electrodes was tuned by polypyrrole and silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis conditions.
