In this study, the $PPy/CLO_4$ and PPy/PVS composite electrodes were prepared at various polymerization potential by incorporating electrolyte anions of different anion size during constant potential polymerization. The reulting Polypyrrole surfaces were inspected by SEM, and their electrochemical Properties were investigated with CV and ac impedance method. The results of electrochemical analysis were suggested that anion for $PPy/CLO_4$ electrode and cation fir PPy/PVS electrode were transferred during redox reaction. As constant potential of polymerization was increased, the charge transfer resistance of $PPy/CLO_4$ and PPy/PVS was decreased and the electric double layer capacitances of $PPy/CLO_4$ was higher than that of PPy/PVS. The change of PPy/PVS surface was relatively smaller than that of $PPy/CLO_4$ according to electropolymerization potential.

본 연구에서는 Host와 Dopant $Ir(ppy)_3$의 도핑 위치 변화에 따른 bottom emission 인광 OLED를 제작하여 발광 효율 및 특성을 분석하였다. 소자의 EML은 $Ir(ppy)_3/CBP$와 $CBP/Ir(ppy)_3$ 순으로 증착하여 제작하였다. $Ir(ppy)_3/CBP$은 낮은 구동 전압에서 큰 전류밀도와 큰 luminance을 측정하였고, 반대로 $CBP/Ir(ppy)_3$은 높은 구동 전압에서 $CBP/Ir(ppy)_3$은 큰 전류밀도와 큰 luminance가 측정되었다. 이는 $Ir(ppy)_3/CBP$에서 HTL과 EML 사이에 hole direct injection이 발생으로 Hole이 증가하지만 charge balance 불일치로 roll-off가 발생하고, $CBP/Ir(ppy)_3$에서 electron direct injection에 의한 electron 증가로 charge balance가 향상된다. EL spectrum 측정에서 $Ir(ppy)_3$은 파장 512nm 발광이 일어나고, CBP와 NPB은 각각 파장 380nm, 433nm로 분석된다. 각 물질의 triplet의 전달은 energy level이 큰 곳에서 작은 곳으로 전달되는데 이러한 이유로 전압에 따른 recombination zone 변화로 각 물질에서 나오는 파장의 intensity가 달라지는 것을 확인하였다. $Ir(ppy)_3/CBP$은 낮은 전류 밀도에서는 CBP의 영향으로 380nm 파장대가 크고, 높은 전류 밀도에서는 $Ir(ppy)_3$의 영향으로 512nm 파장대가 크게 나오는 것을 확인했고, $CBP/Ir(ppy)_3$에서는 낮은 전류 밀도에서 512nm 파장대가 커지고, 큰 전류 밀도에서는 CBP에서 NPB로의 triplet 에너지 전달의 증가로 433nm 파장대가 커지는 것을 확인하였다.

The electrical/optical properties and surface structures of polypyrrole (PPy) thin films, which were prepared by liquid phase polymerization (LPP) and vapor phase polymerization (VPP) of pyrrole using FTS as an initiatior are compared. The PPy thin film prepared by VPP showed superior surface resistance characteristics as compared with that prepared by LPP. We investigated the relation between surface morphology of PPy film and surface resistance by surface characteristic analysis. The surface of PPy thin film prepared by VPP was smoother than that prepared by LPP. Micro-patterned PPy thin film could be prepared effectively using VPP-combined ink-jet printing and soft lithography.

Incorporation of metalloporphyrins into polypyrrole (PPy) film was achieved either by electropolymerization of pyrrole in the presence of metal-tetra(sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (MTSPP, M=Co, Fe) or by metalizing hydrogenated tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (H2TSPP) doped into PPy through ion-exchange. Electrochemical reduction of oxygen on the PPy doped with metallo porphyrin (PPy-MTSPP) was studied in acidic and basic solutions. Oxygen reduction on PPy-MTSPP electrodes appeared to proceed through a 4-electron pathway as well as a 2-electron path. In acidic solutions, the overpotential for O2 reduction on PPy-CoTSPP electrode was smaller than that on gold by about 0.2 V. In basic solutions the overpotential of the PPy-CoTSPP electrode in the activation range was close to those of Au and Pt. The limiting current was close to that of Au. However, polypyrrole doped with cobalt-tetra(sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (PPy-CoTSPP) or with iron-tetra(sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (PPy-FeTSPP) was found to have limited potential windows at high temperatures (above 50 ℃), and hence the electrode could not be held at the oxygen reduction potentials in basic solutions (pH 13) without degradation of the polymer.

The effects of molecular structure on the redox properties of the organic electroluminescent materials (Ir$(ppy)_3$ Ir$(m-ppy)_3$ Ir$(p-toly)_3$) were studied using cyclic voltammetry and spectroscopy. These iridium complexes show reversible oxidation and reduction on the electrode, which produce the symmetric cyclic voltammogram. It indicates that these materials are very stable under repetitive oxidation/reduction cycles. The electrochemically determined ionization potentia/electron affinity values are 5.4OeV/3.02eV for Ir$(ppy)_3$, 5.36eV/2.96eV for Ir$(m-ppy)_3$, and 5.35eV/2.97eV for Ir$(p-toly)_3$ from the SCE(Standard Calomel Electrode). The electrically determined band gaps are 2.38eV (521nm), Ir$(ppy)_3$, 2.4OeV (517nm), Ir$(m-ppy)_3$, and 2.38eV (521nm). Ir$(p-toly)_3$, which are similar with the optical band gaps. The position of methyl group on 2-phenylpyridine (ppy) effects do not influence much on the ionization potential, electron affinity, and band gap of Ir$(ppy)_3$ derivatives.

The photoelectrochemical behavior of polypyrrole films on Pt, glassy-C and indium tin oxide(ITO) under illumination was studied in aqueous solution containing a redox couple such as I-/I2 or Fe(CN)64-/Fe(CN)63-. Polypyrrole(PPy) was coated on Pt, glassy-C and ITO electrodes using electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole by potentiostatic method. Illumination of the PPy film results in the increase of cathodic and anodic currents at redox potentials of the redox species. These enhanced currents are caused both by the semiconductor characteristics of PPy and by the photothermal acceleration of redox reaction at PPy-electrode surface, and are dependent on the pH of redox solutions and the dopants in PPy.

Conducting PPy/PVA composite and pure PPy gas sensors were prepared by in-situ vaporstate polymerization method in a vaporization chamber under N2 condition, by exposing the pre-coated electrode with PVA/FeC13 to distilled pyrrole monomer. The various electrical sensing behaviors of both types of sensors were systematically investigated by a flow measuring system including mass flow controller (MFC) and bubbling bottle. The FT-Raman spectroscopy of vapor state polymerized PPy was identical to that of chemically polymerized PPy, confirming the same chemical structure. Both types of sensors had positive sensitivity when exposed to methanol gas. The sensitivity varied linearly with gas concentration in the range of 50ppm to 1059ppm. The detection limit of PPy/PVA sensor was believed to be as low as 10ppm. The sensitivity of PPy/PVA composite sensor was higher than that of pure PPy sensor. Both the response time and recovery time of PPy/PVA composite sensors were longer than those of pure PPy sensors. The thickness of the sensing film affected the sensitivity this way that the sensor having thinner film had higher sensitivity, indicating that the resistance of polymer film involved in the sensing behavior was bulk resistance rather than surface resistance. The reproducibility of PPy/PVA composite sensor was excellent during eight on-off cycles by switching between N2 and 3000ppm methanol gas. The sensitivity of PPy/PVA composite sensor was only maintained for two weeks, while the sensitivity of pure PPy sensor was maintained over two months.

Anodically Polymerized conducting Polypyrrole film electrode was employed to Pick up uranyl ion with the type of Gr/ppy, xylenol orange modified electrode. To have Porous and oriented ppy film, NBR was applied as precoating agent. The rate constant of polymerization was $3.22\times10^{-3}s^{-1}$ which was 1.6 times smaller value than bare graphite surface. The deposited amount of uranyl iou on $1.70Ccm^{-2}$ of ppy was $1.55\times10^{-4}g$. The matrix effect in artificial seawater was $6.8\%$. The polymer film electrode has a diffusion controlled process in conduction, but the modified Gr/ppy, $X.O^{4-}UO^+$ type was influenced on the ion doping and electronic conduction of film itself owing to increasing of impedance. The capacitance of electrical double layer was respectively enhanced to 56 and 130 times in Gr/ppy, $X.O.^{4-}$ and Gr/ppy, $X.O^{4-}UO^+$ than Grippy type electrode.

A new material, carbon-nanofiber/polypyrrole (CNF/PPy) composite films, with different CNF weight ratios were fabricated electrochemically. Compared to the fabrication process based on simple physical mixing, the flexibility of the new film has been improved much better than the previous similar material. Pure PPy films were also fabricated by the new electrochemical process for the comparison of difference. Several SEM images were taken at two locations (electrode-side and solution-side) and at the cross section of the samples. Electrical conductivity of the composite films was measured by the four-probe method. The conductivity of the pure PPy film 0.013cm thick was 79.33S/cm. The CNF/PPy composite film with 5% CNF showed a conductivity of 93S/cm. One with 10% CNF showed a conductivity of 126 S/cm. The conductivity of PPy improves, as the CNF weight ratio increases. The good conductivity of CNF/PPy composites makes them a candidate for a small bending actuator. A bending sensor consists of PPy and PVDF, which can be operated in the air, was designed and the bending deflection was calculated using FEM.

The conducting composites were prepared by blending polypyrrole (PPy) as a conducting polymer and nylon6,6 as a matrix. In chemical polymerization of PPy, the oxidizing agent was $FeCl_3$ and dopant was alkylbenzenesulfonic acid, such as camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) or dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA). The electrical conductivity and mechanical properties were measured for the amount of dopant and PPy complex, and these morphology observed. When it was doped with DBSA having long alkyl chain and added the PPy complex of 25 wt %, the electrical conductivity was increased up to 0.64 S/cm.
