Abstract :
This paper presents the effect of polypyrrole electro-deposition under pulsed electric field. The effect of pulsed electrochemical deposition can clearly be seen from the improved results of sensitivity and the linear range. The main reason behind this effect is the growth of different polypyrrole islands on the Pt/ITO substrate. Sensor performance were further enhanced by introducing glutaraldihyde as a cross-linking agent.
