Effect of polyaniline on the stability of electrotransport characteristics and thermochemical properties of sulfocationite membranes with different polymer matrices

A comparative analysis of the electrotransport and thermochemical properties of homogeneous and heterogeneous sulfocationite membranes modified with polyaniline has been performed. The relationship between the conditions of polyaniline synthesis in the membrane matrix and their electric conductivity, electroosmotic permeability, and thermal stability was studied. The conditions of polyaniline synthesis on the surface of a heterogeneous MK-40 membrane had an insignificant effect on the amount of the introduced modifier, while the electric conductivity of the composites remained high enough. The absence of the effect of the polyaniline synthesis conditions on the electric conductivity of МK-40-based composites suggests that the heterogeneity of this membrane is a more significant factor than the polyaniline synthesis conditions. A thermogravimetric analysis of the thermochemical properties showed a significant increase in the thermal stability of the heterogeneous membrane after its modification with polyaniline. For perfluorinated membranes, the thermochemical properties changed less significantly, but the electrotransport of ions and water significantly decreased after modification.     

Influence of silver-decorated multi-walled carbon nanotubes on electrochemical performance of polyaniline-based electrodes

In this work, silver (Ag) nanoparticles were deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by chemical reduction while Ag-decorated MWNTs (Ag-MWNTs)/polyaniline (PANI) composites were prepared by oxidation polymerization. The effect of the Ag incorporated into the interface of the composites on the electrochemical performance of the MWNTs/PANI was investigated. It was found that highly dispersed Ag nanoparticles were deposited onto the MWNTs, and the Ag-MWNTs were successfully coated by PANI. According to cyclic voltammograms, the Ag-MWNTs/PANI exhibited significantly increased electrochemical performances compared to MWNTs/PANI and the highest specific capacitance obtained of MWNTs/PANI and 0.15 M Ag-MWNTs/PANI was 162 F/g and 205 F/g, respectively. This indicated that Ag nanoparticles that were deposited onto the MWNTs caused an enhanced electrochemical performance of the MWNTs/PANI due to their high electric conductivity, which resulted in an increase of the charge transfer between the MWNTs and PANI by a bridge effect.     

A Novel Electrochemical Method for Enhancing the Conductivity of Polyaniline Solid Matrices in Pre-Formed Films

A fast, simple and environmentally friendly new electrochemical method capable of enhancing the conductivity of a preformed polyaniline film has been found. Utilizing this method of electrochemical forcing pre-treatment at a certain effective voltage, a polyaniline solid matrix can be made more conductive. For example, the conductivity of a preformed polyaniline film (as thick as 10 μm) can be easily enhanced by about an order of magnitude within a pretreatment time of only ca. 5 min. The UV-Vis-NIR and ESR spectroscopic evidences indicated that the charge carriers in the polyaniline matrix are more delocalized after such electrochemical pretreatments. The results of CV studies indicated that the resultant polyaniline film has higher charge transport efficiency and a greater redox rate. Such phenomenon may be linked with a possible backbone conformational change, as induced by this novel electrochemical pretreatment, within the solid matrix ofpolyaniline film.     

Template synthesis and electrotransport behavior of polymer composites based on perfluorinated membranes incorporating polyaniline

A method of chemical template synthesis is described for producing composites based on a perfluorinated matrix with polyaniline chains implanted. It has been shown that the choice of experimental and conditioning techniques is relevant for the composites’ investigation. The conductivity, diffusion permeability, selectivity, and electroosmotic permeability of the composites have been investigated in comparison with the same properties of the initial MF-4SC membrane. A model describing the transport behavior of the composites in the doped state as a fibrous-cluster system is proposed. A set of transport and structural parameters of the composites in a H₂SO₄ solution has been calculated and an analysis of the results observed has been carried out. The set of electrotransport properties is explained by the morphological features of the composites, taking into account the redox heterogeneity of polyaniline. The contribution of electron conductivity to the mixed conductivity of composites with a certain saturation degree by polyaniline has been estimated.     

Electrical field influence on molecular mass and electrical conductivity of polyaniline

We have described the primary studies on the conductivity and molecular weight of polyaniline in an electric field as it is used in a field effect experimental configuration. We report further studies on doped in-situ deposited polyaniline. First we have chemically synthesized polyaniline by ammonium peroxodisulfate in an acidic solution, with aqueous, organic and emulsion conditions at different times. Next, we measured mass and conductivity and obtained the best time of polymerizations. Then, we repeated these reactions under different electrical fields in constant time and measured mass and conductivity. The polyaniline is characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), UV-visible spectroscopy and electrical conductivity. Polyanilines with high molecular weight are synthesized under electric field M _w = (5.2–6.8) × 10⁵, with M _w/M _n = 2.0–2.5. The UV-visible spectra of polyanilines oxidized by ammonium peroxodisulfate and protonated with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (PANi-DBSA), in N-methylpyrolidone (NMP) show a smeared polaron peak shifted into the visible. Electrical conductivity of polyaniline has been studied by four-probe method. The conductivity of the films of emeraldine protonated by DBSA cast from NMP is higher than 500 S/cm under (10 kV/cm² of potential) electric field and shows an enhanced resistance to ageing. Next, we carried chemical polymerization at the best electric field at different times. Finally, the best time and amount of electric field were determined. Polymers synthesized under an electric field probably have better physical properties regarding the existence of less branching and high electric conductivity.     

Structure and electric conductivity of copolymers of aniline and aniline-2-sulfonic acid obtained via chemical oxidative copolymerization

A method for the synthesis of aniline-aniline-2-sulfonic acid copolymers is developed. It is shown that the sulfonated polyaniline is capable of self-doping, as evidenced by higher stabilities of the structure and electric conductivity of the copolymers than those of the homopolymer. The mechanism of electric conductivity of the copolymers depends on the comonomer ratio in the feed. By means of the method of impedance spectroscopy, it is found that a decrease in electric conductivity with an increase in the degree of sulfonation is primarily due to reduction in the order of the copolymer structure.     

In situ study of the conductivity of the electrochemically deposited polyaniline film using a dual-disk microelectrode

A conductivity equation based on the dual-disk microelectrode was derived. This electrode was used for in situ measurement of the conductivity of polyaniline. Some factors such as electrochemical potential, solution pH, scan rate and over-oxidation, which influence the conductivity of polyaniline, were conveniently controlled by this electrode. Experimental results proved that this electrode is very useful for measuring the relative conductivity in situ and studying the conducting mechanism of conductive polymers.     

Effect of surface pressure on the insulator to metal transition of a langmuir polyaniline monolayer

A remarkable change in the conductivity of a polyaniline (PAN) Langmuir monolayer in the conducting state, as a function of surface pressure, has been observed using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The film conductivity, as expressed by the SECM current response of a redox mediator, was measured in-situ in a Langmuir film balance. The conductivity of the film increases significantly with surface pressure, above a threshold value of ca. 20 mN m-1.

超级电容器具有功率密度高、充放电速度快、循环寿命长和维护成本低的特点,在电动车动力电池领域具有潜在的应用前景。超级电容器性能主要由其电极材料所决定。聚苯胺易合成、理论比容量高,而且导电性能优异,作为超级电容器电极材料有很高的应用价值。但是,在长期使用过程中,它的体积容易发生膨胀或收缩,循环寿命差。为了解决这个问题,将聚苯胺与石墨烯复合可以扬长避短,充分利用两者之间的协同效应,赋予复合材料优异电化学电容性能。本文综述了超级电容器用石墨烯-聚苯胺复合材料的制备方法,包括原位聚合法、油水界面合成法、电化学合成法、层层自组装法等;提出了三维网状石墨烯和对石墨烯-聚苯胺复合材料进行改性来提高复合材料的电化学电容性能的思路。     

氧化剂对聚苯胺性质的影响

当过硫酸铵与苯胺的摩尔量之比为1∶1至2∶1时,化学合成的聚苯胺具有高的产率,电导率也较高,过多的过硫酸铵存在,使聚苯胺的电导率明显下降,这是由于它氧化了不同的中间体使产物不同,及聚苯胺被进一步氧化而造成的。各种强的氧化剂虽能提高电化学合成的聚苯胺的电极电位,但都使它的电导率和电化学活性显著降低,这仅是由于聚苯胺的进一步氧化所引起的。为了保持聚苯胺高的电化学活性,应避免它与强氧化剂共存。

Enzymatic self-wiring

Redox conducting polymers “Wires” have been widely used as a electron mediators between enzyme active sites and electrode surfaces in electrochemical biosensors. We report that a peroxidase is able to generate a molecular wire through its own enzymatic catalyzed reaction. The catalytic reaction is the polymerization of aniline to form conducting polyaniline. The polyaniline molecular wire is then capable of transducing the enzyme’s catalytic turnover into an electrochemical signal. In effect we demonstrate the selective bridging of the gap between nano and macroscales in a functional fashion (electrical conductivity) using the catalytic capabilities of the nanostructure.     

Preparation and properties of polyaniline codoped with ionic liquid and dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid or hydrochloric acid

Three nanosized polyaniline (PAn) powders doped with ionic liquid and dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) or hydrochloric acid have been prepared for the first time in an ionic liquid-water emulsion system. The oil-phase ionic liquid is used as both a monomer solvent and doped counterion. The effects of different counterions on the properties (molecular weight, electrical conductivity, glass transition temperature, electrochemical activity) of PAn are investigated. PAn codoped with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid and DBSA shows the highest molecular weight (81 104 g mol^?1), the highest electrical conductivity (1.85 S cm^?1), the lowest glass transition temperature (181°C) and the highest redox reaction current density; PAn doped with an ionic liquid only exhibits the lowest conductivity (0.0018 S cm^?1) and a lower redox reaction current density. PAn codoped with ionic liquid and HCl shows higher conductivity. They also exhibit good electrochemical stability and charge-discharge performance. These indicate that codoping of different counterions under acidic conditions could improve the degree of oxidation and doping ratio of PAn and could result in high electrical conductivity and good electrochemical properties.

Characterization and Analysis of the Electrochemical Proper-ties of the Polyaniline Synthesized by Emulsion Polymerization in Constant Magnetic Field(0.4 T)

A new, convenient and economical method was established firstly, which took loaded polyaniline (PANI) carbon paper as the working electrode to real‐time characterize and analyze the electrochemical properties of the PANI synthesized by emulsion polymerization in constant magnetic field (MF, 0.4 T). The characterization results of the electrochemical properties of the PANI had been proved by contrast analysis of the thermal stability of conductivity, FT‐IR, XRD and TGA of the PANI. The experimental results of cyclic voltammogram, AC impedance, Tafel curve and electrochemical stability showed that the PANI synthesized in the presence of the MF had larger redox current, smaller charge resistance, higher corrosion potential and better electrochemical stability. The PANI thermal stability of conductivity had been measured in the temperature range from 20 to 140°C, and the results showed that the PANI synthesized in the presence of the MF had better thermal stability of conductivity. The results of FT‐IR, XRD and TGA indicated that the characteristic peaks of FT‐IR spectra of the PANI synthesized in the presence of the MF shifted to the lower wavenumbers, and its crystallinity and thermal stability were also improved.
