Synthesis of graphene/polyaniline composite nanosheets mediated by polymerized ionic liquid

Abstract

Graphene/polyaniline composite nanosheets can be prepared with the aid of polymerized ionic liquid, and both individual nanosheets and stable aqueous dispersions of the nanosheets can be obtained.

One-step electrochemical approach to the synthesis of Graphene/MnO2 nanowall hybrids

“…With appropriate designs, nanocomposites can exhibit the beneficial properties of each parent constituent, producing a material with improved performance. To date, great efforts have been made to incorporate GN into composite materials and explore their applications in various fields, including quantum dots [13,14], metal nanoparticles [15][16][17][18], metal oxides [19][20][21][22], carbon nanotubes [23,24], and conducting polymers [25][26][27][28]. It is noteworthy that bionanocomposites resulting from the assembly of GN with biopolymers such as polysaccharides [29], peptides [30], proteins [31], and nucleic acids [32] can also play a crucial role in achieving controllable properties and desirable multifunctionalities.…”

Ionic liquid-assisted one-step hydrothermal synthesis of TiO2-reduced graphene oxide composites

“…Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely studied as a new kind of reaction medium owing to their unique properties such as extremely low volatility, wide liquid temperature range, good thermal stability, good dissolving ability, tailorable structures, high ionic conductivity, and wide electrochemical window [27][28][29][30]. Recently, ILs have been used as solvents, reactants, and templates for the synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials with novel morphologies and enhanced properties [31].…”

Polyaniline/graphene nanocomposites synthesized by in situ high gravity chemical oxidative polymerization for supercapacitor

“…Nevertheless, these approaches lead to long reaction time and low yield. Special techniques such as polymerization in ionic liquid [23], electrochemical method [24], interfacial polymerization [25], surfactant-stabilized method [21] and ultrasound method [26] may solve a part or all of the above problems, but they are relatively expensive, complex and difficult to scale up. Specifically, rapid mixing method was initially used to prepare uniform PANI nanofibers [27] and has recently been applied to synthesize PANI/ GN nanocomposites [28].…”
