Synthesis, Spectral and Electrochemical Characterization of Adipic Acid Doped Polyaniline

Abstract

Polyaniline (PANI) doped with adipic acid was prepared by in-situ chemical polymerization method using various concentrations of adipic acid. The structural characterizations of PANI were done by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Ultra violet visible spectroscopy (UV-Visible). XRD studies reveal crystalline nature of the doped PANI. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the morphology of the composites. Thermal studies indicate that highly doped PANI was more stable. Electrochemical characterization was made using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and capacitive behaviour was analysed by impedance measurements (EIS).
