Facile fabrication of the polyaniline/layered double hydroxide nanosheet composite for supercapacitors

To overcome the structural instability of polyaniline (PANI) due to repeated volumetric swelling and shrinking during charge/discharge process, the LDH/PANI composite was designed and prepared via the assembly of organic PANI and 2D host nanosheets from the MgFe layered double hydroxide (MgFe-LDH) through incorporation of PANI between the nanosheets gap using in situ polymerization. Owing to the combined advantages of conducting PANI and 2D...
