Abstract Galvanostatic electrodeposition of polypyrrole from more than 20 nonaqueous and aqueous electrolytes containing anions such as BF 4 − , ClO 4 − , HSO 4 − , Tos−, HCO 3 − , H2PO 4 − , HPO 4 2− , H2BO 3 − and NO 3 − at the substrates Pt, Au, Cu, Ti, stainless steel/V2A and Fe was investigated. The passivating substrates Pt, Au, Ti and V2A could be electrocoated under a broad variety of conditions. Cu dissolved anodically. The same was true for Fe with only one important exception, namely aqueous nitrate. Smooth, well-adhering polypyrrole layers were obtained on iron at NO 3 − concentrations of 0.01–1 M and at current densities of 0.5–10 mA cm−2. The degree of insertion for nitrate ions was abouty=0.25, confirmed by elemental analysis. Current efficiencies with regard to thisy were about 90%. The layers were stable in air for a long time.
