Electroactive polypyrrole has been synthesized by oxidative polymerization of pyrrole using ferric chloride hexahydrate as oxidant in the presence of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), and used to remove radioactive cesium from aqueous solution. The SDBS-doped polypyrrole (PPy/SDBS) adsorbent w...
