Emeraldine base polyaniline

The Uses of Emeraldine base polyaniline

PANI can be used in the formation of a conjugating system that finds potential applications in semiconductors. It can be used in the fabrication of a variety of devices which include fuel cells, light emitting diodes supercapacitors, chemical sensors(10) and rechargeable batteries.(11)

The Uses of Emeraldine base polyaniline

A variety of nanomaterials like silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), graphene oxide(GO), aluminum oxide(α-Al₂O₃), carbon fiber and graphite can be potentially used in conjunction with PANI for the development of translational medicine, supercapacitors, triboelectric nanogenerators, and other energy storage applications.

The Uses of Emeraldine base polyaniline

PANI-EB finds its usage in a variety of applications which include chemical sensors, absorptive micro-extraction, anticorrosive layer and microelectromechanical systems.

General Description

Inherently conducting polymer based additive. Stable up to at least 300°C in air. Polyaniline is environmentally stable and with tunable conductivity. Synthesis of polyaniline (PANI) emeraldine salt by chemical oxidation has been reported. It was observed that sulfonated dyes chemically interact with the charged backbone of PANI. PANI selectively adsorbs the sulfonated dye. Spectral, diffraction and conductivity measurements of the polymer has been reported in the same study.
