“…47,48 The decrease of the cell voltage (+0.4 to −1.2 V) results in the structure change of the PANI, resulting in changes in intensity of bands at 810, 1186, 1420, 1486, and 1590 cm −1 , originally from amine deformation (C−N−C bending), C−H bending, C−C stretching, CN stretching, and CC stretching, respectively. 49 The increase in the intensity of the band at 1186 cm −1 and decrease of the intensity of the band at 1160 cm −1 are due to the transition of quinoid to benzoid rings. All these changes reflect the transition of the PANI from the pernigraniline to emeraldine structure (partially oxidized state).…”
