Composition and spectral studies of polyaniline salts

Five different polyaniline salts have been prepared by chemical polymerization of aniline in aqueous solution of different acids. The polyaniline base was obtained from the corresponding polyaniline salt by dedoping using aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution. Electron paramagnetic, electronic absorption, infrared spectral and conductivity measurements have been performed on the polyaniline salts and polyaniline bases. This composition and the extent of dopant in polyaniline salt systems have been determined. There is no definite correlation between the conductivity and the stoichiometric ratio between the polyaniline base and the acid, and also the spin concentration.     

Synthesis and electrochemical performance of sandwich-like polyaniline/graphene composite nanosheets

Sandwich-like polyaniline/graphene composite nanosheets have been synthesized by chemical oxidation polymerization of aniline monomer on the surfaces of reduced graphene oxide nanosheets in the absence of any surfactants. The influences of the mass ratios of aniline and reduced graphene oxide on the sizes and morphologies of polyaniline/graphene nanocomposites have been investigated. As the mass ratio of aniline and reduced graphene oxide is smaller than 12:1, polymerization reaction of aniline occurs on the surfaces of reduced graphene oxide by heterogeneous nucleation to form sandwich-like polyaniline/graphene composite nanosheets. However, besides sandwich-like polyaniline/graphene composite nanosheets, polyaniline nanofibers are formed by homogeneous nucleation. In comparison with reduced graphene oxide and polyaniline nanofibers, the obtained sandwich-like polyaniline/graphene composite nanosheets exhibit good electrochemical performances due to the synergistic effect between graphene and polyaniline.     

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。

Synthesis and characterization of aluminum–polyaniline thin films and membranes

Polyaniline (PAni) films of different intrinsic oxidation states, including emeraldine salt, emeraldine base and leucoemeraldine base, were synthesized. Free‐standing membranes and thin film bilayers of aluminum–polyaniline were fabricated by magnetron sputter deposition of aluminum onto polyaniline films. Aluminum–polyaniline samples were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to investigate the microstructures of specimens, including cross‐sectional TEM micrographs of the metal‐polyaniline interfacial structure not previously reported in the literature. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to study the chemical bonding and interaction between deposited aluminum and polyaniline at the interface. Results indicated that the intrinsic oxidation state of the polyaniline influenced the chemistry of the aluminum–polyaniline interface. Distinct interaction between aluminum and polyaniline in the emeraldine salt‐form was observed. However, there was no evidence of direct interactions of the aluminum with emeraldine base and leucoemeraldine base polyaniline. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Preparation of oriented titanium phosphate and tin phosphate/polyaniline hybrid films by electrochemical deposition

The preparation of hybrid films of metal (Ti and Sn) phosphate nanosheets and polyaniline by simultaneous electrophoretic and electrolytic deposition was performed in an acetonitrile solvent. Emeraldine polyaniline was intercalated between the phosphate nanosheets with a monolayer arrangement. The obtained hybrid films were several tens of micrometers in thickness. The ratio of incorporated polyaniline to metal phosphate in the hybrid films reaches to around 0.45 and 0.30 at suitable concentrations of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH). These amounts correspond with occupancy of polyaniline in the interlayer gallery of several tens percent. Fractions of voids in a horizontal direction were around 22 and 1% in titanium phosphate/polyaniline and tin phosphate/polyaniline hybrid films, respectively. Thus, anodic electrodeposition makes it possible to form thick films of intercalation compounds of alpha-titanium and tin phosphates with polyaniline. These hybrid films were examined for redox activity. The cyclic voltammetry results of these films confirmed that the hybrid films have redox activity by polyaniline. For these voltammograms, the maximum current was observed in the tin phosphate/polyaniline hybrid deposited for 15 min. The redox activity of these hybrids possibly depends on the mesoscopic texture of the film, especially on the amount of voids in a horizontal direction.

聚苯胺具有良好的导电性和独特的掺杂-解掺杂特性,成为近年来备受关注的导电高分子材料,其特有的抗划伤、抗点蚀和钝化性能使其在金属防腐领域拥有巨大的应用前景。聚苯胺结构中苯环的存在,使得其分子链具有较大刚性,而分子间氢键又导致其难溶、难熔、可加工性能较差,严重制约了聚苯胺的应用。掺杂过程能有效改善聚苯胺的某些性能,或赋予其新的功能,扩展聚苯胺的应用。本文综述了聚苯胺的掺杂方式、掺杂机理、聚苯胺防腐材料的制备方法,以及其在金属防腐领域的应用,展望了聚苯胺的研究和应用前景。

Spectral characteristics of polyaniline nanostructures synthesized by using cyclic voltammetry at different scan rates

The polyaniline nanofibers with different sizes were synthesized by using cyclic voltammetry at different potential scan rates, in the presence of ferrocenesulfonic acid. The potential scan rate controlled the formation and growth of polyaniline nuclei, which plays a key role in controlling nanofiber sizes. The average diameters of nanofibers decreased from about 130 nm to about 80 nm as the potential scan rate increased from 6 to 60 mV s (-1). We first observed an ordered change in the following spectra with the nanofiber sizes of polyaniline. The spectra of the X-ray diffraction indicated that the partially crystalline form existed in the polyaniline nanofibers and that the crystallinity of polyaniline increased with decreasing diameter of polyaniline nanofibers. The ESR spectra revealed the fact that the decrease in the intensity of the ESR signal was accompanied by the increase in the value of the peak-to-peak line width Delta H pp as the diameter of polyaniline nanofibers decreased. The (1)H NMR spectra showed that a peak in a triplet caused by the +/- NH free radical was split into two peaks with different intensities and that their relative intensity also changed with the diameter of the polyaniline nanofibers.     

Preparation of Nanosized Metallic Particles in Polyaniline

The preparation of nanosized gold and palladium particles in polyaniline has been carried out via the reduction of AuCl(3) or Pd(NO(3))(2) by polyaniline in either aqueous media or N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP). When the reduction of AuCl(3) was carried out in NMP solutions of polyaniline, the Au particles were on the order of 20 nm. The reduction of AuCl(3) or Pd(NO(3))(2) by polyaniline in the powder form in aqueous media resulted in the accumulation of the elemental Au or Pd on the surface of the polyaniline particles. Subsequent dissolution of the polyaniline in NMP resulted in metal particles of about 50 to 200 nm being dispersed in the NMP solution of polyaniline. The rate of metal salt reduction and the size of the metal particles were found to be strongly dependent on the medium used, the initial ratio of metal ions to polyaniline, and the reaction time. The polyaniline-metal particle systems were characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy and laser light scattering were used to determine the size of the metal particles in polyaniline. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

Chemical lithography of a conductive polymer using a traceless removable group

Polyaniline could be easily converted into nitrosated polyaniline by reaction with nitrite ion in acids. The product is soluble in common solvents and could be deposited into thin films. The nitrosated polyaniline could be back-converted into polyaniline by acid hydrolysis. On the basis of those properties, a simple chemical lithographic process to produce conductive polyaniline images is demonstrated.     

Spectral and thermal characterization of polyaniline–oxalic acid salt

Polyaniline–oxalic acid salts were prepared at 5 and 30°C by chemical polymerization of aniline using different concentration of oxalic acid. Polyaniline base was obtained from the corresponding polyaniline salt by dedoping using aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution. Conductivity measurements, elemental analysis, Infrared, electronic absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance spectral, and thermogravimetric analysis were performed on the polyaniline salts and bases. Composition and the extent of dopant in polyaniline salt systems where determined. The value of composition of polyaniline: oxalic acid is 4: 1.6 and the polymer yield is around 66%. The value of conductivity, polymer yield and composition of polyaniline–oxalic acid salt is independent of concentration of oxalic acid used and also the synthesis temperature. The results are compared with polyaniline–hydrochloride salt prepared by chemical polymerization. The conductivity of polyaniline–oxalic acid salt is three orders of magnitude lower than that of polyaniline-hydrocholoride salt. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Spectroscopy of thin polyaniline films deposited during chemical oxidation of aniline

Any surface immersed in the aqueous reaction mixture used for the preparation of polyaniline becomes coated with a polyaniline film of submicrometre thickness. In this way, various materials can be modified by an overlayer of conducting polymer. The present review illustrates the role of infrared, Raman, and UV-VIS spectroscopies in the studies of polyaniline film growth. Spectroscopic methods are crucial in the evaluation of the performance of polyaniline films alone or in combination with nanoparticles of noble metals. The assessment of film ageing and stability can be followed conveniently by these methods. Carbonization of polyaniline films to nitrogen-containing carbon analogues is also discussed.     

Emulsion Polymerization Pathway for Preparation of Polyaniline‐Sulfate Salt,using Non Ionic Surfactant

In this work, aniline was polymerized directly to the polyaniline‐sulfate salt without using a protonic acid. The polyaniline‐sulfate salt was prepared by emulsion polymerization, using a non ionic surfactant such as poly(ethylene glycol)–block poly(propylene glycol)‐block poly(ethylene glycol). In the aniline oxidation process, to give the polyaniline salt by ammonium persulfate, the sulfate ion is generated from ammonium persulfate and doped on to the polyaniline. Ammonium persulfate acts both as an oxidizing agent, as well as the protonating agent in the aniline polymerization process, to give the polyaniline salt. This result indicates that the effect of sulfate ion, generated by ammonium persulfate during oxidation of aniline to the polyaniline salt, may be taken into consideration in the polymerization process of aniline.     

ELECTROCHEMICAL POLYMERIZATION OF ANILINE IN PHOSPHORIC ACID AND THE PROPERTIES OF POLYANILINE

The behavior of the electrochemical polymerization of aniline in a weak acid, phosphoric acid, is very similar to that in strong acids, i.e. its polymerization rate increases quickly with the electrolysis time. The FTIR spectra of polyaniline samples synthesized in phosphoric acid indicate that the counter ion H2PO4^- is present in both the oxidized form and the reduced form of polyaniline. The counter ion plays an important role in adjusting the pH value at the electrode surface of polyaniline during the oxidation and reduction processes. As a result, a pair of redox peaks still appear in cyclic voltammograms of polyaniline in a solution of sodium sulfate of pH 5.5 and in a solution of NaH2PO4 of pH 7.0,respectively, at low potential scan rate; and the color of polyaniline film also changes with applied potential at pH 7.0. Thus,the pH region for the electrochemical activity and the electrochromism of polyaniline is extended to pH 5.5 for a solution of sodium sulfate and to pH 7.0 for a solution of NaH2PO4. The conductivity of polyaniline is 3.3 S cm^-1, depending on the concentration of phosphoric acid used in the stage of polymerization of aniline. The result of elemental analysis of polyaniline is presented here.     

Polyaniline-coated silica gel

Silica gel microspheres 7 and 15 μm in diameter were coated with an overlayer of polyaniline camphorsulfonate or hydrochloride during the oxidative polymerization of aniline. Coated silica gel and polyaniline precipitate were separated using a difference in sedimentation rate. In an alternative approach, the microspheres were modified with polyaniline in the presence of 35 nm colloidal silica. This technique prevented the macroscopic precipitation of polyaniline. Coatings of neat, 3-aminopropyl- and octadecyl-modified silica gel with polyaniline hydrochloride were compared. The surface composition of coated microspheres was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Potential applications of particles in electrorheology, organic catalysis, and in modeling of conductivity behavior in composites are demonstrated.
