▎ 摘　　要

By exploiting the electrostatic interaction between positively charged pyrrole cation radicals and negatively charged graphene oxide (GO) sheets, we prepared polypyrrole/graphene oxide (PPy/GO) composite films by a one-step electrochemical process. We studied the effects of the polymerization current density and the GO content in electrolyte on the formation of PPy/GO coatings onto platinum neural micro-electrode sites. As compared with pure PPy film, PPy/GO coatings show a rougher surface feature with micrometer-scale bulges. The impedance of the PPy/GO coated Pt electrode is only about 10% of the bare Pt electrode at the biological relevant 1 kHz, while the charge capacity density is more than two orders of the magnitude of the bare Pt electrode. Moreover, the PPy/GO coated Pt electrodes show higher performance than the PPy coated electrodes for the application of neural probe. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
