Deposit account : The generation of oxidizing agents in situ allows the cathodic deposition of polypyrrole (ppy) by oxidative polymerization. Conducting polymers are synthesized with new nanoscale morphologies (e.g., nanospheres creating a three‐dimensional porous network, see picture). Metal–conducting polymer hybrid electrodes are assembled by a one‐step synthesis.
