Abstract EN
Most primary cells use Zn or Li as the anode, a metallic oxide as the cathode, and an acidic or alkaline solution or moist past as the electrolytic solution.
In this paper, highly ordered polypyrrole (PPy) inverse opals have been successfully synthesized in the acetonitrile solution containing [bmim]PF6.
PPy films were prepared under the same experimental conditions.
Cyclic voltammograms of the PPy film and the PPy inverse opal in neutral phosphate buffer solution (PBS) were recorded.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy technique was used to investigate the structural surface of the PPy films and the PPy inverse opals.
It is found that the PF6- anions kept dedoping from the PPy films during the potential scanning process, resulting in the electrochemical inactivity.
Although PF6- anions also kept dedoping from the PPy inverse opals, the PO43- anions from PBS could dope into the inverse opal, explaining why the PPy inverse opals kept their electrochemical activity.
An environmental friendly cell prototype was constructed, using the PPy inverse opal as the anode.
The electrolytes in both the cathodic and anodic half-cells were neutral PBSs.
The open-circuit potential of the cell prototype reached 0.487 V and showed a stable output over several hundred hours.
