Polyaniline (PANI) thin films have been electrochemically synthesized onto conducting glass substrates. The current study demonstrates that the properties of PANI films depend on the concentration of dopant acid. Well-adherent PANI coatings were obtained under potentiodynamic conditions during sequential scanning of the potential region between −0.35 V and +1.7 V with respect to silver/silver chloride. The structural, optical, and morphological properties of PANI films were studied with the aid of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Current–voltage ( I- V) measurements were performed to study the electrical properties of PANI films. The XRD peaks observed at 2 θ = 15.4°, 24.2°, and 25.1° confirm the synthesis of emeraldine form of PANI. The strong absorption peaks observed in the UV-Vis absorption spectra at 317 nm (π–π* interba...
A comparative voltabsorptometric study of polyaniline films prepared by different methods
A comparative cyclic voltabsorptometric study was carried out for polyaniline (PAn) films prepared by electro-chemical polymerization and vacuum thermal evaporation. The absorption values were measured at different characteristic wavelengths (895, 755, 665, 435, and 325 nm) corresponding to the individual absorption bands separated by us earlier from the spectra using the Alentsev-Fock method. Differential voltabsorptometric curves (dA/dt vs. potential (DCVA)) measured in aqueous HCl were compared with ordinary cyclic voltammetry (CVA). The experiments for different sweep rates were also compared. It was found that the DCVA peak at 895 nm corresponds perfectly to the CVA peak both in the electrosynthesized and the vacuum deposited PAn. The DCVA peak at 435 nm (cation-radicals) precedes the CVA peak (similar to the maximum of the EPR signal), while that at 755 nm (polarons or cation-radical dimers) lags behind the CVA peak. For the vacuum deposited films an intense intermediate DCVA and current peaks (at about 0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl) are observed. The results are discussed in terms of the heterogeneous structure of PAn; particularly, its specific features in the films prepared using different methods.

Polyaniline membranes of aniline were produced using an electrochemical method in a cell consisting of two poles. The effect of the vaccination was observed on the color of membranes of polyaniline, where analysis as of blue to olive green paints. The sanction of PANI was done by FT-IR and Raman techniques. The crystallinity of the models was studied by X-ray diffraction technique. The different electronic transitions of the PANI were determined by UV-VIS spectroscopy. The electrical conductivity of the manufactured samples was measured by using the four-probe technique at room temperature. Morphological studies have been determined by Atomic force microscopy (AFM). The structural studies have been measured by (SEM).

Polyaniline (PANI) slim film was set up by electrochemical polymerization strategy at room temperature in a standard three-electrode cell from (0.1M) aniline monomer and (0,5M) from Sulfuric acid in the presence of distilled water. The development of PANI film was portrayed by Voltammetric studies, SEM, XRD, and FTIR. Voltammetric studies were performed in 0.5 M acidic aqueous solutions using H2SO4. The XRD design demonstrated that the diffraction top at 2θ = (30˚). The FTIR spectroscopy spectra give particular and unmistakable bonds at 3500, 1572.52, 1302.53, 831.98, and 592.85 cm-1.
