Performance of Zn rechargeable cells having Polypyrrole cathodes doped with surfactant anion

In this publication, authors investigate the performance of Zn rechargeable cells fabricated with conducting polymer polypyrrole (PPy) doped with a surfactant anion conducting polymer cathode, as an alternative to high cost Li based rechargeable cell that are known to have rapid reactivity and disposal issues. They have been able to successfully fabricate these Zn rechargeable cells with reasonable open circuit voltage and cycling capacity.
