Abstract
A mathematical model for predicting cyclic voltammograms on a rotating disk electrode (RDE) with polypyrrole is presented. The model is used to predict the spatial and time dependence of concentration, overpotential, and stored charge profiles within the system, and to clarify the electrochemical reaction mechanisms and transport phenomena within the polypyrrole film. The model includes both faradaic and capacitive charge components into total current expression. Also, a mathematical model for the lithium/lithium perchlorate - propylene carbonate/polypyrrole (Li/LiC1O4-PC/PPy) secondary battery cell is expanded from the RDE model. This allows for a better understanding of the dynamic behavior and provides guidance toward design of new secondary batteries utilizing electronically conductive polypyrrole cathodes. The model includes the capabilities of handling charge and discharge behavior. The model is used to study the effects of various design parameters on the performance of the cell.
