Statistical Study of the Influence of Electrosynthesis Conditions on the Capacitance of Polypyrrole.

ABSTRACT: Polypyrrole (PPy) is a promising material for the fabrication of flexible energy storage devices and much research has been published. However, no statistical tools have been used to relate PPy synthesis conditions to its energy storage performance, considering not only the main synthesis factors but also their interactions. In this work, we use a factorial design of experiments to evaluate the influence of two electropolymerization methods and three synthesis parameters on the energy storage capacity of PPy coatings. The polymers were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Statistical tests showed that ClO₄ ^--doped PPy exh
