Hydrogen storage capacity of polypyrrole in alkaline medium: effect of oxidants and counter anions

Polypyrrole(Ppy) synthesized by wet chemical method using FeCl3 and (NH4)2S2O8 as oxidants were subjected to analysis by Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectroscopy, Differential scanning calorimetry, Raman and 1HNMR techniques. Electrochemical analysis such as cyclic vo...
