Preparation and Characterization of Polyaniline Nanotube

Abstract: Abstract:The present work reports slightly modification of the conventional chemical synthesis of polyaniline (PANI) to be nanotube structure without the need for any template or structural directing materials. PANI preparation was optimized by the oxidation of two different precursors: aniline and aniline hydrochloride with ammonium persulfate (APS) as oxidizing agent in various aqueous media of strong, weak acid and in alkaline medium at different pH values. Structural and morphological properties of the pro… Show more

“…During the course of COP, PANI grew as small particles that fully cover BC/PVAN nanofibers, resulting in a rough texture (Figure c). PVAN may induce the dispersion of these small particles, , preventing the aggregation of a cauliflower-like structure typically obtained when the reaction is conducted at low pH and in the presence of strong oxidants such as APS . BC/PVAN is therefore coated with PANI, consisting of a nanorod-like structures that can be easily recognized within the interspaces of the porous BC nanocomposite network, as exemplified in the circled area in Figure c.…”

“…On the other hand, SEM micrograph for higher Bi 2 Te 3 content (50%) (Figure 3c,d) indicates the granular structure of PANI due to the increase in Bi 2 Te 3 nanoparticles, this implies that no polymer chain entanglement during the polymerization process 26 . This means that the starting materials and the preparation conditions are recognized as the critical factor in forming the compact, continuous, and overgrowth nanostructures of PANI compositions 41,42 . Conversely, the presence of Bi 2 Te 3 during the fabrication process might also have an impact on the uneven flaky structure.…”

“…The FTIR bands situated at 1300 and 1110 cm −1 are attributed to the C–N benzenoid and C–H stretching vibration of polyaniline, respectively [ 60 ]. The FTIR peaks located at 1562 and 1483 cm −1 correspond to C=N and C=C stretching vibration modes of benzenoid of polyaniline, respectively [ 61 , 62 ]. The characteristic bonds on the surface of the nanomaterial confirm the formation of polyaniline.…”
