“…Depending on the MOF preparation procedure and origin, either a decrease or an increase in the crystallite size was observed . It is also known that the synthesis of the materials, where PANI can be intercalated in the substrate, can lead to the change of the substrate structure, such as its partial exfoliation . Thus, although the MOF structures are mostly preserved after the composite synthesis, the pH of the polymerization medium and the PANI layer deposition can both contribute to the observed changes in the XRD patterns.…”

Composites of polyaniline (PANI) and Zr-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2, were synthesized by the oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of MOF templates with the MOF content in the resulting materials (78.2 and 86.7 wt %, respectively) close to the theoretical value (91.5 wt %). Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed that the morphology of the composites was set by the morphology of the MOFs, whose structure was mostly preserved after the synthesis, based on the X-ray diffraction data. Vibrational and NMR spectroscopies pointed out that MOFs participate in the protonation of PANI and conducting polymer chains were grafted to amino groups of UiO-66-NH2. Unlike PANI-UiO-66, cyclic voltammograms of PANI-UiO-66-NH2 showed a well-resolved redox peak at around ≈0 V, pointing at the pseudocapacitive behavior. The gravimetric capacitance of PANI-UiO-66-NH2, normalized per mass of the active material, was also found to be higher compared to that of pristine PANI (79.8 and 50.5 F g–1, respectively, at 5 mV s–1). The introduction of MOFs into the composites with PANI significantly improved the cycling stability of the materials over 1000 cycles compared to the pristine conducting polymer, with the residual gravimetric capacitance being ≥100 and 77%, respectively. Thus, the electrochemical performance of the prepared PANI-MOF composites makes them attractive materials for application in energy storage.
