“…67 FT-IR spectrum of the as-obtained sample is shown in Figure 1F, and the peaks observed are near 3430, 2925, 2368, 1644, 1545, 1440, 1209, 1162, 1072, 987, 881, 828, 779, 668, and 556 cm −1 . 48,70 The peaks at 1162, 1072, and 881 cm −1 are ascribed to stretching vibration of the C─N and C─N + groups; on the other hand, the peaks at 2925 cm −1 (N─H), 1545 cm −1 (C═C), 1440 cm −1 (C─C), 1209 cm −1 (C─C), 987 cm −1 (C═C), 828 cm −1 (C─H), and 779 cm -1 (C─H) are attributed to PPy stretching modes. 69 The broad peak around 1644 cm −1 is assigned to the C═O groups because of the overoxidation of PPy that may restrict the π- conjugated network.…”
