Pulse electropolymerization and the characterization of polyaniline nanofibers

This work investigates the conditions required for the pulse galvanostatic electropolymerization of aniline in synthesizing polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers. In order to obtain uniform morphology in polyaniline nanofibers, the effects of such variables as pulse height (current amplitude), relaxation time (toff), pulse time (ton), bath temperature, HClO4 and aniline concentrations were studied using SEM, TEM, FT-IR, UV–vis spectroscopy, cyclic...
