Study of RuO2 incorporated PPy hybrid flexible electrodes prepared by soaking and drying technique: a novel approach

Present work describes the superficial incorporation of the RuO2 in pristine PPy matrix by simply immersing the pristine PPy FE in 20 ml of 1 μM aqueous solution of RuCl3 to soak it in PPy matrix followed by drying. XRD shows mostly amorphous nature but there are peaks confirming the existence of tetragonal as well as rutile structures of RuO2. The characteristic peak at 1563 cm−1 in FTIR confirms the formation of PPy. SEM image of the prepared...
