Electropolymerization of polyaniline on high surface area carbon substrates

Electrochemical preparation of polyaniline capped Bi2S3 nanocomposite and its application in impedimetric DNA biosensor

“…It could be found that obvious difference appeared on these two electrode surfaces. On the bare IL-CPE surface, a layer of lumpy and irregular film consisted of numbers of small particles was observed, which was similar to PANI electro-synthesized on the other planar matrix materials as reported in literatures [32,33]. However, when aniline was electro-polymerized on rBi 2 S 3 /IL-CPE, clear coralloidlike clusters were observed, indicating that the pre-coated rBi 2 S 3 played an important role to induce the directional polymerization aniline on the electrode surface.…”

High capacitance properties of polyaniline by electrochemical deposition on a porous carbon substrate

“…For the purpose of studying the effect of monomer concentration, several electrodes were prepared by potentiodynamic method at 100 mV s −1 sweep rate in 0.1 M H 2 SO 4 and varying the concentration of aniline in the range from 0.05 to 0.5 M. The deposition was slow in low concentrations and it increased with an increase in concentration of aniline. Studies on the influence of preparation conditions on morphology of PANI films are reported [19,21,33,34]. Globular and porous structure of PANI films prepared by using a slow rate during the first potentiodynamic sweep in H 2 SO 4 electrolyte is reported [33].…”

Electrochemical Methods to Enhance the Capacitance in Activated Carbon/Polyaniline Composites

“…15,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] In these studies, remarkable cooperative effects between the carbon material and the polymer were observed. It was thought that the former provided better mechanical properties 22 and high surface area, whereas the latter could grow as thin films to allow better redox kinetics. 15 However, to our knowledge, there is not yet a systematic study of the influence of the electrochemical preparation method on the properties of the carbon/polyaniline composites.…”
