본 연구에서는 Pt-Ru 촉매를 $H_2PtCI_6$ 및 $RuCl_3$ 용액을 화학적 환원에 의해 전도성 고분자인 폴리피롤을 중합시킨 Nafion 막위에 직접 침적시켰다 EDS 분석 결과 Pt 및 Ru 촉매는 Ppy/Nafion 표면에 주로 분포하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 폴리피롤이 중합된 Nanon 위에 침적시킨 Pt-Ru 촉매의 메탄올에 대한 전기화학적 산화특성을 CV로 평가하였다. 메탄을 산화 개시 전위는 Ru촉매에 사용이 증가함에 따라 음전위 방향으로 전이되었다. 따라서 폴리피롤이 중합된 Nafion표면에 Pt-Ru촉매를 직접 함침할 수 있었고. 메탄올 산화 특성을 나타내는 전극을 제작할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 폴리피롤로 개질된 Nafion 막에 직접적으로 백금촉매를 담지하는 방법을 제시하고 PEMFC로의 응용을 검토하였다. 개시제로 $FeCl_3$ 및 $Na_2S_2O_8$을 사용하여 피롤을 Nafion 막에 중합하였다. 제저된 PPy/Nafion 복합체 막의 양이온 전도도와 함수율을 측정한 결과, $Na_2S_2O_8$을 사용하여 제조된 복합체 막은 피롤 중합시간이 증가할수록 양이온 전도도와 함수율은 감소하였고, $FeCl_3$의 경우 함수율은 감소하지만 양이온 전도도는 유지되었다. 폴리피롤로 개질된 Nafion 막에 백금 촉매를 화학적 환원법에 의해 함침한 결과, 폴리피롤의 전자 전도성 특성에 의해 백금 담지가 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Pt/PPy/Nafion 전극촉매와 확산 전극으로 구성된 MEA를 단위 연료전지 성능평가를 행한 결과, 0.3 V의 전위에서 $569mA/cm^2$의 전류밀도 값을 갖는 연료전지 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

Electrical capacitance at the interface between electrolyte solution and conducting polypyrrole film electrode was measured by a simple electrochemical method. The polymer films were electropolymerized in the presence of perchlorate (PPy-ClO4) or Nafion (PPy-Nafion) anions as the dopant ions. Both polymers exhibited large double layer capacitances which were slightly potential dependent within the potential range where the polymers are conductive. The capacitance increased in proportion to the polymer thickness. The specific capacitance were about 10 Fg-1and 44 F g-1 for PPy-Nafion and PPy-ClO4, respectively.

A polypyrrole (PPy)/alumina composite filler prepared via in-situ polymerization of pyrrole on alumina particles was incorporated into $Nafion^{(R)}$ to improve the performance of ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuators. The IPMCs with the pristine PPy without alumina support did not show bending displacements superior to that of the bare Nafion-based IPMC, except at a high PPy content of 4 wt%. This result was attributed to the low redox efficiency of the PPy alone in the IPMC and may have also been related to the modulus of the IPMC. However, at the optimized filler contents, the cyclic displacement of the IPMCs bearing the PPy/alumina filler was 2.2 times larger than that of the bare Nafion-based IPMC under an applied AC potential of 3 Vat 1 Hz. Even under a low AC potential of 1.5 V at 1 Hz, the displacement of the PPy/alumina-based IPMCs was a viable level of performance for actuator applications and was 2.7 times higher than that of the conventional Nafion-based IPMC. The generated blocking force was also improved with the PPy/aiumina composite filler. The greatly enhanced performance and the low-voltage-operational characteristic of the IPMCs bearing the PPy/alumina filler were attributed to the synergic effects of the neighboring alumina moiety near the PPy moiety involving electrochemical redox reactions.

In order to fabricate stable conductive polymer actuators which can be operated in air, conductivity and solidity of polymer electrolyte materials have been studied. It was found that Nafion+LiCl is appropriate material to be used for conductive polymer actuator. Using the Nafion+LiCl solid polymer electrolyte, single layer PPy actuators have been fabricated and their deflection was measured. Double layer PPy actuators make up for shortcoming of single layer PPy actuator and displacement and frequency response can be improved by fabrication of double layer PPy actuator. This kind of all-solid-polymer actuator can be used for practical applications.

In order to overcome the weak actuation and relaxation problems during the deformation of IPMC actuator, polymeric anion (polystyrenesulfonate)-doped polypyrrole(Ppy(PSS)) was electrodeposited onto IPMC actuator. Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance study showed that hydrated cations were instilled into Ppy(PSS) film and polymeric-anion dopants introduced during polymerization were not expelled. Ppy(PSS)-coated IPMC actuator formed two electrode/electrolyte interfaces, Pt/nafion and Ppy(PSS)/bulk solution, and additive volume expansion phenomena at interfaces induced the large deformation compensating the relaxation of actuation by back diffusion of water.
