Electrochemical Synthesis of Polyaniline Nanoparticles and Nanofibers

چکیده
The electrochemical deposition of polyaniline nanofibers and nanoparticles have been investigated on gold electrodes by cyclic voltammetry and their morphology by high resolution scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The type and dimensions of the nanostructures obtained depend on deposition conditions such as monomer concentration, scan rate and electrical potential. We have observed that the nucleation and growth steps play a key role on the film growth and its nano-morphology.

Polyaniline nanofibers: a unique polymer nanostructure for versatile applications.
Known for more than 150 years, polyaniline is the oldest and potentially one of the most useful conducting polymers because of its facile synthesis, environmental stability, and simple acid/base doping/dedoping chemistry. Because a nanoform of this polymer could offer new properties or enhanced performance, nanostructured polyaniline has attracted a great deal of interest during the past few ye...
متن کاملShape and aggregation control of nanoparticles: not shaken, not stirred.
The aggregation of nanoparticles during synthesis, particularly the effect of mechanical agitation, is investigated from a viewpoint of nucleation using a conjugated polymer, polyaniline, as an example. Homogeneous nucleation of polyaniline results in nanofibers, while heterogeneous nucleation leads to granular particulates. Mechanical agitation, which is a common method for disrupting aggregat...
