Figure 2a shows the diffraction patterns of polyaniline synthesized at 0ºC and room temperature with diffraction peaks observed at 2θ 9,33°, 20,90°, and 25,52°, which indicates the structure of semi-crystalline of polyaniline [10]. The peak at 2θ 25,52° is typical of polyaniline peak; this peak is considered to come from a parallel arrangement of the polymer chain of polyaniline [13,14]. However, the peak at 2θ 20,90° shows a polyaniline amorphous peak, and the peak International Conference on Mathematics, Science andEducation 2017 (ICMSE2017) IOP Publishing IOP Conf.

A synthesized polyaniline sample shows the identical position of the diffraction peaks at room temperature (Figure 2b). Based on crystallinity analysis using the High Score Plus (HSP) software, polyaniline prepared at 0ºC had slightly greater crystallinity, i.e., 41% compared to that developed at room temperature, which was 37%. The crystallinity difference can be attributed to the increasing regularity of the polyaniline structure and an increased molecular weight along with a decrease in temperature [16][17][18]. (Figure 3a). The nanoparticles were found to form cylindrical-like aggregates. However, a different morphological characteristic was observed in polyaniline prepared at room temperature polymerization (T2), where polyaniline formed as coarse particles with irregular shapes (Figure 3b). This result shows the significant influence of temperature in controlling the process of polyaniline polymerization, and that fine particle generated a high surface area that can be obtained at a low temperature. Figure 4a shows the curve of nitrogen gas (N2) adsorption-desorption isotherms at 77 K for the polyaniline prepared at 0ºC with different oxidant dropping times. The curves exhibit type-IV isotherms that are a representation of mesoporous characteristics with pores size between 4 and 30 nm. The pore size distribution is determined based on the Barret, Joyner, and Halenda (BJH) methods that shown in the inset of Figure 4. Based on the SBETvalues presented in Table 1, at a polymerization temperature of 0ºC, the APS/aniline ratio produces very significant changes in the surface area of the polyaniline; the highest surface area of 42 m 2 /g was obtained at a ratio of 0.75 with an oxidant dropping time of 0 minutes. This value is much higher compared to that obtained under polymerization conditions that have been reported previously [19,20]. However, at room temperature polymerization, the surface area decreases by more than 52% such that it only reaches 20 m 2 /g. The high BET surface area of polyaniline prepared at 0ºC might be associated with slow polymerization processes at low temperatures that produce fine particle [21][22][23], which is confirmed by the SEM micrograph (Figure 3a). TheSBET is found to decrease at longer oxidant dropping times. In this case, the SBET drops to 16 m 2 /g at an oxidant dropping time of 150 minutes. This indicates that longer dropping times have improved the process of aniline polymerization, which may extend the polymer chain and increase the particle size, implying a decrease in theSBETvalue [11,23]. However, at room temperature polymerization, the SBET of the samples does not change much with increases in the oxidant dropping time. times at 0ºC (a) and room temperature (b).

Natural resources including sand are one of the best approaches for treating dye-polluted wastewater. The SiO2/PANI-SDS nanocomposite was synthesized by self-assembly and intermolecular interaction. The physicochemical features of the SiO2/PANI-SDS nanocomposite were explored by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, and N2 adsorption–desorption techniques to be evaluated as an adsorbent for the MB. The surface area of the SiO2/PANI-SDS is 23.317 m²/g, the pore size is 0.036 cm³/g, and the pore radius is 1.91 nm. Batch kinetic studies at different initial adsorbate, adsorbent and NaCl concentrations, and temperatures showed excellent pseudo-second-order. Several isotherm models were applied to evaluate the MB adsorption on the SiO2/PANI-SDS nanocomposite. According to R² values the isotherm models were fitted in the following order: Langmuir > Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) > Freundlich. The adsorption/desorption process showed good reusability of the SiO2/PANI-SDS nanocomposite.

Herein, a SnO2/MWCNTs/PANI nanocomposite was synthesized using a wet chemical approach which acts as a multifunctional electrode for supercapacitor and hydrogen evolution reaction. The dielectric properties were studied using the Maxwell-Wagner model of space charge polarization. The increasing dielectric constant indicated the suitability of synthesized NPs for telecommunication, electronics, and other high-frequency applications. The dependence of impedance and dielectric behavior on grains and grain boundaries was further investigated via impedance spectroscopy and complex electric modulus. Based on a 6 M KOH aqueous electrolyte, the SnO2/MWCNTs/PANI as an electrode material for supercapacitors displays a capacity of 211 C g⁻¹ at 1 A g⁻¹ and exhibits excellent cycling stability with a capacitance retention ratio of 98% after 5000 cycles at a current density of 2 A g⁻¹. For hydrogen evolution reaction in 0.5 M KOH, SnO2/MWCNTs/PANI electrode achieves a benchmark of 10 mA cm⁻² at overpotentials of 524 mV. The results reveal that the SnO2/MWCNTs/PANI nanocomposite act as multifunctional material that can be used for both energy storage and conversion.

The objectives of this research were to synthesise a polyaniline-cobalt film electrode and investigate the effect of introducing cobalt to polyaniline film. A polyaniline-cobalt sample was synthesised using potentiostatic technique at 2.2 V constant synthesis potential value for 3 min. FTIR and X-ray diffraction results showed that the synthesised polyaniline-cobalt film was in the emeraldine salt phase with cobalt deposition. The effects of electrodeposition potential on the morphology, capacitance and impedance values of the sample were evaluated based on the results of scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The synthesised polyaniline-cobalt had a rough flakes morphology. The formation of polyaniline-cobalt in the sample increased the specific capacitance and impedance characteristics of the polyaniline film. Overall, results indicated that the electrochemical properties can be significantly improved with higher specific capacitance.

Nowadays, the flexibility of energy devices acquired more attention due to various portable electronic devices. Here we report a rapid, facile and cost-effective route to synthesize binder-free Polyaniline (PANI) electrode via a simple potentiostatic method to fabricate stable supercapacitor (SCs). The deposition time was varied to optimize the properties and performance of SCs. The formation of PANI thin films confirmed by XRD, FTIR and Raman analysis. The resulting binder-free PANI electrode exhibits porous nanofibers morphology, which provides a high specific surface area confirmed by BET measurement and high specific capacitance (Cs). Benefited from the porosity and high specific surface area of PANI electrodes, maximum Cs observed 473 F/g at 5 mV/s scan rate and 76% cyclic retention showed after the 2000th cycles. Furthermore, the resulting symmetric PANI energy storage device exploits 161 F/g Cs at a 5 mV/s scan rate with 47% cyclic retention after the 2000th cycles.

The aim of this work was to prepare polyaniline, polypyrrole and polyaniline/polypyrrole composite films using electrodeposition techniques. Films were examined using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, which confirmed the formation of the single polymers and their composite. Morphological analysis was carried out using a scanning electron microscope and showed the flat and highly compact deposit of polypyrrole/polyaniline composites, whose morphological characteristics varied from those of the single polymers, which had porous deposits. Electrochemical properties of the materials were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. Impedance values showed that polyaniline had the best charge transfer and the polyaniline/polypyrrole composite had the highest specific capacitance value, which was 530.96 F/g. This result indicates that the electrodeposited films can find application for electrode in capacitive deionization systems.

A mesoporous polyaniline functionalized novel ternary composite cation exchanger was synthesized via sol-gel mixing of polyaniline (PANI) into the matrices of EDTA-Zirconium(IV) iodate (EZI). The PANI/EDTA-Zirconium(IV) iodate(PEZI) composite cation exchanger was found to be good ion exchange capacities (IEC) for different alkali metal ions were: Li⁺, 2.09; Na⁺, 2.34; K⁺, 2.63 meq/g and higher thermal stability. Distribution studies (Kd values) inferred that the cation exchanger becomes highly selective for Pb(II) ions than Hg(II) and Cd(II) ions, respectively and its selectivity was arrested by some analytically and industrially important binary mixtures, viz. Cd(II)– Pb(II), Hg(II)– Pb(II), Cu(II)– Pb(II), Zn(II)– Pb(II), Ni(II)– Pb(II), Fe(III)– Pb(II), etc. on its column. The physico-chemical characterizations as well as the properties of the composite cation exchange material were also determined using UV-Visible, FT-IR, XRD, SEM with EDAX, TEM, BET and TGA studies. The AC-Electrical conductivity of PEZI composite cation exchange material was also studied. The analytical utility of the proposed composite cation exchange material has been successfully employed for the removal of Pb(II) ions from waste water streams.
