“…Among them, PANI stands out as the most viable due to its high conductivity, high stability in the doped state, and low-cost production. ,, Consequently, PANI has been studied for many applications such as corrosion, , printed circuit boards, antistatic coatings, electrochromic displays, charge storage devices, , hole transport layers (HTLs) in perovskite solar cells, − light-emitting diodes (LED), waste removal, , and biosensors . However, PANI’s limited solubility in common organic solvents and its electrochemical instability have prompted our group and others to explore PANI derivatives as alternatives to address PANI’s limitations. − For example, poly(1-naphthylamine) has been studied by Ahmad and co-workers, and later by Riaz’s group, in a number of applications such as anticorrosion and antibacterial coatings, − photolytic degradation of dyes, , and wastewater remediation . Other aryl- and N-substituted PANI derivatives were also reported to enhance the solubility and were used in various applications.…”
