This article describes the detailed analysis of the reaction between arylamines, such as aniline, o -anisidine, and methyl anthranilate, with selenium dioxide in acetonitrile. A systematic analysis of the reaction products with the help of ⁷⁷ Se NMR and single-crystal X-ray crystallography revealed that the reaction progress follows three major reaction pathways, electrophilic selenation, oxidative polymerization, and solvent oxidation. For aniline and o -anisidine, predominant oxidative polymerization occurred, leading to the formation of the respective polyaniline polymers as major products. For methyl anthranilate, the oxidative polymerization was suppressed due to the delocalization of amine lone pair electrons over the adjacent carboxylate function, which prompted the selenation pathway, leading to the formation of two of the isomeric diorganyl selenides of methyl anthranilate. The diaryl selenides were structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the highest occupied molecular orbital of methyl anthranilate was deeply buried, which suppressed the oxidative polymerization pathway. Due to solvent oxidation, oxamide formation was also noticed to a considerable extent. This study provides that utmost care must be exercised while using SeO 2 as an electrophile source in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions.

This work aims to create energy-harvesting composites using poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) EVA, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and polyaniline (PANI) composites. The novelty lies in the fabrication of a triboelectric nano-generator (TENG) using EVA-PZT-PANI composites. These composites combine the flexibility of EVA polymer with the electricity-generating power of PZT ceramic and the conductivity of PANI. Systematic investigation of the structural, electrical, and microstructural properties of these composites is carried out to optimize their energy-harvesting performance. Among various compositions, the EVP3 device demonstrates exceptional output, generating a peak voltage of 17.8 V and a current of 190 nA at 2 Hz and 5 N applied force. The TENG demonstrates its versatility in harvesting energy from various sources by powering capacitors and collecting energy from human motions. Moreover, we show the potential application of the TENG for real-time traffic monitoring. By embedding the TENG into roads, we can measure car speeds and serve as a traffic management counter, opening up new possibilities for self-powered intelligent transportation systems.

The magnetoimpedance effect allows us to estimate the extent of spin dependent scattering in disordered solids. The change in impedance with respect to applied magnetic field manifests through local change in permeability on the surface and it amplifies at defect sites. The local electrical inhomogeneities are expected to aid this effect through spin dependent scattering. The organic conjugated electrical networks provide scope for producing such inhomogeneities formed by path defects and protonic charge accumulation leading to spin dependent scattering. This hypothesis is investigated in the present work taking polyaniline as a prototype network. The electrical inhomogeneities in the network were controlled by selective oxidation and aging in polyaniline. The Giant Magnetoimpedance (GMI) was observed in the electrically inhomogeneous network with the change in electrical impedance of the order of 50%–60% for lower frequencies with prominent capacitive coupling and a change of the order of 200% at higher frequencies with prominent inductive coupling with the application of magnetic field. However, no spin accumulation was observed in the insulating networks formed by a modified oxidative process. This study is expected to serve as a tool to develop frequency selective spin accumulation based magnetic field sensors and oscillator networks.

To introduce reduced graphene oxide as a nanofiller to enhance the electrical properties of the polymer. Both the HCSA-doped PANI and HCSA-doped PANI with rGO nanofibers were electrospun separately to create individual nanofibers. Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy was used to investigate the chemical composition and functional groups present in the nanofibers. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was employed to study the nanofibers’ morphology, structure, and surface characteristics.

With increasing concerns regarding the potential health risks associated with microwave‐based technology, researchers have been actively investigating materials with impressive microwave absorption properties. In this study, a synthesis and investigation of a nanocomposite, named Fe3O4/MWCNT/ZnO/PANI, consisting of magnetite (Fe3O4), multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), zinc oxide (ZnO), and polyaniline (PANI) as a microwave‐absorbing material, was carried out for the first time. The nanocomposite was prepared through a simple physical mixing approach and demonstrated tunable microwave absorption, making it highly suitable for shielding applications. Structural analysis techniques, including X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy with energy‐dispersive X‐ray analysis (SEM‐EDAX), confirmed the presence of all components in the nanocomposite. Moreover, ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy (UV‐Vis) further verified the formation of nanocomposite components and revealed an adjustable optical bandgap ranging from 2.86 to 3.34 eV. Impressively, the nanocomposite exhibited promising microwave absorption properties, with a minimum reflection loss (RL) of −32.66 dB for the nanocomposite containing 37.50 % PANI by weight, and a maximum electromagnetic bandwidth (EB) of 2.26 GHz for the nanocomposite containing 44.44 % PANI by weight, indicating its potential as an effective shielding material. Furthermore, a modified theory combining transmission line, Landau‐Lifshits, and Drude‐Lorentz theories was introduced to extract complex relative permittivity and permeability, providing insights into the role of polyaniline in enhancing the microwave absorption properties of the nanocomposite as measured by reflection loss (RL).

The improvement of solubility of the copolymer may be due to the action of the silver atoms which help reduce the cross linking of the copolymer chains; the plasticizing effect of the polymer chains increases the brittleness of the polymer lms. The polar bromo-group could take part to some degree in formation of hydrogen bonding, which changes solvation properties and improves their solubility in polar solvents [25]. Moreover, there could be the occurrence of Ar-Br activation with Ag atoms. ...

The formation of materials between silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and a polyaniline matrix can lead to various composites, depending on the specific conditions imposed by the researchers basedon the targets and applications initially intended. These nanocomposites often exhibit enhanced electrical, optical, and catalytic properties compared to either component considered by itself. Therefore, such new materials are sought–after and targeted for synthesis. New copolymer composites of silverdispersed poly(aniline–co–3–bromoaniline) copolymer nanocomposites at different molar ratios were synthesized by insitu chemical oxidative polymerization methods. Characterization includes UV–vis spectroscopy, FT–IR spectroscopy, X–ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy.The optical absorption absorption peaks at 338 and 596 nm are ascribed to the n–π* electronic transitions, respectively. The formation of benzenoid and quinoid rings of the copolymer system was confirmed by FT–IR spectroscopy. XRD spectral data confirms the amorphous nature of the copolymer.

The band around 1130 cm − 1 is referred to as C-H in-plane bending [56]. ...

The present work reports fabrication of polyaniline (PANI)-porous silicon (PS) heterostructure obtained by PANI coating on PS using vacuum coating deposition technique. Electrical properties are studied through the measurement of current (I)–voltage (V) characteristics. Some parameters (viz. ideality factor, barrier height, series resistance) are calculated from the I-V plots. Fitting of these curves is done with the thermionic emission (TE) and Cheung’s method. It is found that Cheung’s method provides better knowledge about the heterostructure in terms of series resistance. The heterostructure comes out as an electrically active material with minimal series resistance of 23.53 kΩ resulting high-driven electric current. The I–V of the heterostructure follows space charge limited conduction (SCLC) mechanism due to the presence of traps or imperfection in the heterostructure. Prior to electrical measurement the device is characterized through field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), UV–vis–NIR reflectance, photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectra for morphological and optical properties. FESEM shows the modified PS structure after PANI deposition revealing short-chained PANI molecules due to thermal treatment. UV–vis-NIR shows lower reflectance of the heterostructure due to impregnation of PANI to the pores of PS resulting change in refractive index. PANI-PS shows quenched PL peak. Raman spectra complement the FESEM results.
