The synthesis of polyaniline (PANI) nanospheres by a simple template-free method has been described. The polymerization of aniline in aqueous medium was accomplished using ammonium persulfate without any protonic acid. The UV-vis spectrum of PANI nanospheres displayed the characteristic absorption peak of π-π* transition of the benzenoid ring at 355 nm. The oxidation state of PANI nanospheres was identified with FT-IR spectroscopy by comparing the two bands at 1582 (ring stretching in quinoid unit) and 1498 cm(-1) (ring stretching in bezenoid unit). The X-ray diffraction patterns demonstrated the low crystalline nature of PANI nanospheres. The morphology of PANI nanospheres was spherical and the mean diameter of nanospheres was found in the range of 3-12 nm. The thermal behavior of PANI nanospheres was studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The effect of doping of HCl and H(2)SO(4) on PANI nanospheres was studied by measuring the current as a function of time of exposure. The high electrical conductivity of 6×10(-2) S cm(-1) was obtained for PANI nanospheres at their optimum doping state by 100 ppm HCl.
已描述了通过一种简单的无模板方法合成聚苯胺(PANI)纳米球。在水性介质中使用过硫酸铵完成苯胺的聚合,无需任何质子酸。PANI纳米球的紫外可见光谱在355 nm处显示出苯环π-π*跃迁的特征吸收峰。通过比较1582 cm⁻¹(醌式单元中的环伸缩)和1498 cm⁻¹(苯式单元中的环伸缩)处的两个谱带,用傅里叶变换红外光谱法确定了PANI纳米球的氧化态。X射线衍射图谱表明PANI纳米球的结晶性较低。PANI纳米球的形态为球形,纳米球的平均直径在3至12 nm范围内。通过热重分析研究了PANI纳米球的热行为。通过测量电流随暴露时间的变化,研究了HCl和H₂SO₄掺杂对PANI纳米球的影响。通过100 ppm HCl在其最佳掺杂状态下,PANI纳米球获得了6×10⁻² S cm⁻¹的高电导率。
