Graphene-based nanocomposites with conducting polymers have attracted increasing interest due to the enhanced synergistic properties, which can potentiate and broaden applications. In this context, covalent functionalization stands out as a strategic designing tool, which optimizes the interaction between the nanocomposites components. Herein, covalently linked polymeric nanocomposites were obtained between graphene derivatives and polypyrrole (Ppy) under mild routes (i.e., aqueous, room temperature). First, pyrrole was covalently functionalized on graphene oxide (GO) through stable amide bonds and further polymerization with FeCl 3 led to the polymeric nanocomposites. Finally, to improve conductivity, GO was reduced using NaBH 4 . Similarly, analogous noncovalent nanocomposites were obtained for comparison purposes. All samples were thoroughly characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and infrared and Raman spectroscopy, confirming the targeted functionalization, polymerization, and reduction processes. Moreover, the covalent link effectively enhances the interaction of the nanocomposite's components as evidenced by its improved electrochemical stability (300 cycles), compared to the non-covalent composites which loses conductivity in the initial stages. Indeed, Ppy is known for its low stability, limiting its applications. Overall, the results herein evidence that covalently linked nanocomposites can be successfully obtained with optimized electrochemical response, promising for applications as supercapacitors and artificial muscles.
