A New Route for the Preparation of Brain‐Like Nanostructured Polyaniline |

| Authors: | Ying Zhu Jiuming Li Meixiang Wan Lei Jiang Yen Wei |
| Abstract: | A novel approach has been explored to prepare brain‐like polyaniline (PANI) nanostructures with many convolutions (140–170 nm in average diameter) using aniline/citric acid (CA) salt as the template and chlorine gas as the oxidant by a gas/solid reaction for the first time. The method provided here differs significantly from the traditional one in which the polymerization of PANI is usually carried out in acidic solution.  |
