Nanostructure‐Based Leaf‐like Polyaniline in the Presence of an Amphiphilic Triblock Copolymer

Abstract: Nanostructure‐based leaf‐like polyaniline (PANI) (see figure) has been fabricated successfully in the presence of surfactant F127. It is found that the building blocks of leaf‐like PANI can be tuned from nanofibers (ca. 25 nm in diameter) to nanotubes (ca. 100 nm in diameter) with increasing monomer concentration. The proposed synthetic method will provide insight into the synthesis of oriented nanostructures of polymer materials by the soft‐template strategy.

“…[7] More recently, one area of research has focused on moving toward the hierarchical self-assembly of onedimensional (1D) nanometer-scale building blocks into ordered microstructures or complex architectures, [8] which is vital for 'bottom-up' approaches towards future electric nanodevices. [9] Hierarchical PANI architectures, such as nanorod-based microspheres, [10] urchin-like microstructures, [11] rambutan-like microstructures, [12] nanostructure-based leaf-like PANI, [13] and micro-mats of nanofibers, [14] have been fabricated by different selfassembly processes. However, the morphological control of PANI hierarchical superstructures based on lowdimensional nanostructures still represents a significant challenge in the design of integrated materials with advanced functions.…”

“…Among the various types of CPs, PANI has many attractive features owing to its unique conduction mechanism, easy proton doping, readily film-forming ability, favo-rable environmental stability and having extensive applications in molecular electronic devices, fuel cells, nonlinear optics, sensors, etc. [16][17][18][19][20]. In particular, PANI can be used to construct selective electrode of sensors for DA determination since it can improve the electrocatalytic properties and increase the electron transfer rate and stability of the electrode response [21][22][23][24].…”

“…Linear PANI has found broad applicability in rechargeable batteries (6), electromagnetic shielding (7), nonlinear optics (8), light-emitting devices (9), sensors (10), field effect transistors (11), erasable optical information storage (12), membranes (13), digital memory devices (14), electrochemical capacitors (15), electrochromic devices (16), antistatic and anticorrosion coatings (17), fuel cells (18), solar cells (19), and radar absorbing materials (20). Supramolecular PANI nanostructures such as 0D (nanospheres) (21), 1D [nanofibers (22), nanowires (23), nanorods (24), and nanotubes (25)], 2D [nanobelts (26) and nanosheets (27)], cyclic, spiral, and complex nanostructures have also been reported (28). However, due to the mechanistic complexity of aniline polymerization, the atomic-scale control of PANI structure has not yet been realized (28).…”
