Synthesis and Study of a Polypyrrole–Aluminum Oxide Nanocomposite Film on an Aluminum Surface

Abstract

Using the method of electrochemical anodization, aluminum oxide porous films are obtained in a sulfuric acid solution. The morphology of the aluminum oxide surface is studied by the method of scanning electron microscopy. The high-quality elemental analysis of the initial and oxidized Al films is performed using the method of electron microprobe analysis. A protective composite polypyrrole-aluminum oxide film is produced on the aluminum surface on top of a porous aluminum oxide film in the galvanostatic oxidation mode by the electrochemical synthesis method. The properties of the polypyrrole–aluminum oxide composite film are studied by the methods of voltammetry, as well as impedance and FTIR spectroscopy.
