✦ Synopsis
A coherent explanation for the polypyrrole tridimensional growth on a Pt surface has been found. Two different potential ranges were studied on which the reaction mechanism changes. The results are not in disagreement with an instantaneous tridimensional nucleation [see, S. Asavapiriyanont, G. K. Chandler, G. A. Gunawardena and D. Pletcher, J. electronal. Chem. 177,229 (1984)] but do not show any pH dependence, from which a loss of H+ by the pyrrole monomers could be deduced.

Raman spectroscopic evidence is given for the formation of polypyrrole on some silver electrode surfaces. Oxidation of pyrrole and its subsequent polymerisation is merely promoted by the electrode surface illuminated by daylight during oxidation-reduction cycle. For the silver electrode roughened un
