We propose a new type of ammonia sensor based on composite film between polyaniline (emeraldine base) dissolved in dimethylformamide, and poly(DL-lactic) acid dissolved in chloroform. The two solutions were mixed in weight ratio of the components 1:1 and cast on Al2O3 substrate, on which silver electrodes were deposited previously. The active layer structure and morphology were examined by atom...

Potentiometric sensor based on commercial pencil graphite electrodes coated with polyaniline (PAni) composite with Eosin Y (EY) termed as PGE/PAni-EY have been developed for potentiometric determination of silver ion. The electrode exhibited linear response with Nernstian slope of 57.6±0.8 mV per decade within the range of 1.0×10 to 1.0×10 M with limit of detection 6.5×10 M silver ion. Fast and...

The objective of this study is to evaluate the emulsifier role in the synthesis of Iron Polyaniline nanocomposite by in-situ oxidative polymerization of aniline and reduction of Iron ions into Fe nanoparticles. The polymerization of aniline was carried out in the presence of FeCl as oxidizing agent. During the reaction 3 aniline monomers undergo oxidation and form polyaniline (PANI) whereas the...

This study presents the fabrication of a polyaniline nanofiber ammonia sensor integrated with a readout circuit on a chip using the commercial 0.35 μm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process and a post-process. The micro ammonia sensor consists of a sensing resistor and an ammonia sensing film. Polyaniline prepared by a chemical polymerization method was adopted as the ammonia se...

Polyaniline nanotubes were successfully synthesized by a facile in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method using urea as soft template. When the urea/aniline molar ratio is 3:1, the as-prepared nanotubular polyaniline (PANI-3) shows regular and uniform square capillaries, which provides a high electrode/electrolyte contact, easy ion diffusion and enhanced electroactive regions during the ...

Polymer grafting from graphitic carbon materials has been pursued for several decades. Unfortunately, currently available methods mostly rely on the harsh chemical treatment of graphitic carbons which causes severe degradation of chemical structure and material properties. A straightforward growth of polyaniline chain from the nitrogen (N)-doped sites of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is presented. N-...

This paper deals with application of polyaniline coated on wood sawdust for removal ofmethylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions. Polyaniline coated onto sawdust (termedas PAn/SD) was prepared via direct chemical polymerization onto sawdust which waspreviously soaked in the monomer (aniline) solution in acidic (HC1) media. Adsorptionexperiments were carried out using batch system. The effec...

The high demand for efficient energy devices leads to the rapid development of storage systems with excellent electrochemical properties, such as long life cycles, cycling stability, and power density.
