Abstract
The compound polyaniline (Poly-ANI) with different concentrations of (H2SO4) sulfuric acid has been synthesized by the chemical polymerization method. The prepared compounds have been characterized using number of techniques including FTIR, FE-SEM, EDS and DSC. Additionally, UV-Vis spectroscopy employed for studying the linear optical properties of polymer with different acid concentrations. Third order optical nonlinearity was characterized using Z-scan at 532 nm. The results showed that the nonlinear refractive index has a negative sign. It was observed that the nonlinear refractive index changes in different ratios of H2SO4. The high value of nonlinear refractive index ([Formula: see text]) obtained along Z-axis is [Formula: see text] cm2/W, and the corresponding [Formula: see text] is 21.5 × 10-5 esu. Also, the Poly-ANI film shows the response to NH3 gas sensing in the range 20 ppm-250 ppm and can be used for NH3 sensing application.

Abstract
Eco-friendly inhibitors have attracted considerable interest due to the increasing environmental issues caused by the extensive use of hazardous corrosion inhibitors. In this paper, environmentally friendly PDG-g-PANI/Al2O3 composites were prepared by a low-cost inverse emulsion polymerization for corrosion inhibition of mild steel (MS) and stainless steel (SS). The PDG-g-PANI/Al2O3 composites were characterized by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/Vis, and FTIR spectroscopy. XRD measurements show that the PDG-g-PANI/Al2O3 composite is mostly amorphous and scanning electron micrographs (SEM) reveal a uniform distribution of Al2O3 on the surface of the PDG-g-PANI matrix. The composite was applied as a corrosion inhibitor on mild steel (MS) and stainless steel (SS), and its efficiency was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization measurement in a 3.5% NaCl and 1 M H2SO4 solution. Corrosion kinetic parameters obtained from Tafel evaluation show that the PDG-g-PANI/Al2O3 composites protect the surface of MS and SS with inhibition efficiencies of 92.3% and 51.9% in 3.5% NaCl solution, which is notably higher than those obtained with untreated epoxy resin (89.3% and 99.5%). In particular, the mixture of epoxy/PDG-g-PANI/Al2O3 shows the best performance with an inhibition efficiency up to 99.9% on MS and SS. An equivalent good inhibition efficiency was obtained for the composite for 1M H2SO4. Analysis of activation energy, formation enthalpy, and entropy values suggest that the epoxy/PDG-g-PANI/Al2O3 coating is thermodynamically favorable for corrosion protection of MS and exhibits long-lasting stability.

Abstract
Polyaniline (PANI), which is a member of the family of electrically conducting polymers, has been widely discussed as a potential membrane for wastewater treatment. Although a steady growth in PANI literature was observed, analyzing PANI literature quantitatively is still a novelty. The main aim of this study is to unearth the current research status, global trends, and evolution of PANI membranes literature and their use in water treatment applications over time. For this purpose, a scientometric study was performed consisting of bibliometric and bibliographic analysis. A total of 613 entities were extracted from Web of Science published during the last 50 years and were analyzed to map trends based on leading peer-reviewed journals, publication records, leading research disciplines, countries, and organizations. The study shows that the number of annual publications increased exponentially from 2005 to 2020 and is expected to keep increasing in the current decade. The Journal of Membrane Science published the highest number of articles and was identified as the most-cited journal in the field. China, India, and the USA were observed as the top three research hubs. The top-ranked authors in the field were Wang, Jixiao, and Wang, Zhi. To find research trends, four different clusters of keywords were generated and analyzed. The top five most frequent keywords turn out to be polyaniline, water, performance, membranes, and nanoparticles. The analysis suggests that the application of nanotechnology for modifying PANI membranes (using nanoparticles, nanotubes, and graphene specifically) is the future of this field. This study elucidates the research streamline of the field that may serve as a quick reference for early career researchers and industries exploring this field.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14153116.

Abstract
The lack of an eco-friendly approach towards application of polyaniline as a coating material has been one of the most challenging tasks. Herein, the synthesis of green Prunus domestica gum grafted polyaniline (PDG-g-PANI) composite is reported by a cost-effective emulsion polymerization for application as an efficient anti-corrosion material for mild steel (MS) and stainless steel (SS) in a strong corroding environment. The composite formation was confirmed by Ultraviolet Visible (UV-Visible) and Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. X-ray diffraction data revealed the amorphous nature of the PDG-g-PANI. Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) images showed a bi-layered structure having a parent porous layer of PANI coated with afibrous layer of PDG. The solubility test confirmed the dissolution of PDG-g-PANI in common organic solvents such as acetone, ethanol, propanol, butanol, chloroform, N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, and the mixture of propanol and chloroform. The polarization curve, open circuit potential, electrochemical impendence spectroscopy (EIS), and gravimetric analysis were applied to investigate the corrosion protection behavior of the composite on MS and SS in 3.5% NaCl and 1 M H2SO4 solution. The PDG-g-PANI-coated MS exhibited 96% corrosion inhibition efficiency as compared to 86% and 43% for pristine PANI and PDG in 3.5% NaCl solution while PDG-g-PANI-coated SS showed 98% corrosion inhibition efficiency. Moreover, 99% and 96.6% corrosion protection was observed for PDG-g-PANI-coated MS and SS in 1 M H2SO4 solution. Gravimetric studies revealed that PDG-g-PANI coating can protect MS up to 93% for 14 days in salt solution while 97% corrosion inhibition efficiency was retained for 2 months in open air.

Core/Shell Pigments with Polyaniline Shell: Optical and Physical–Technical Properties. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14102005. [PMID: 35631887 PMCID: PMC9144958 DOI: 10.3390/polym14102005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Core/shell pigments allow for the combination of the active anti-corrosion effect of the shell and the barrier effect of the core. This makes it possible to obtain anti-corrosion pigments, with a high—protective effect and low toxicity. Thus, the need for a comprehensive study of the properties of these pigments grows more urgent, before their application to paints and varnishes. The hiding power of core/shell pigments comes close to the one of pure polyaniline (PANi), when the PANi content in the pigment reaches 50 wt.%, with sulfuric and phosphoric acids used as dopants. This paper, also, shows that the blackness value of core/shell pigments with 10 wt.% PANi is around 35 and constant; for pure PANi, their blackness value is 40. When PANi content is 5 wt.%, kaolin-based pigment shows the lowest blackness, which happens due to a generally higher whiteness of kaolin. However, when the PANi content surpasses 10 wt.%, there seems to be no influence on the blackness of the core/shell pigments. The core/shell pigment with a 20 wt.% PANi is, optically, identical to a black-iron-oxide pigment. An increase in the PANi content of the core/shell pigment leads to an increase in the oil absorption of the samples. It was found that the dispersion process would be the most energy efficient for core/shell pigments, containing kaolin and talc as a core.

Abstract
Given the limited access to freshwater compared to seawater, a growing interest surrounds the direct seawater electrolysis to produce hydrogen. However, we currently lack efficient electrocatalysts to selectively perform the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) over the oxidation of the chloride ions that are the main components of seawater. In this contribution, we report an engineering strategy to synthesize heterogeneous electrocatalysts by the simultaneous formation of separate chalcogenides of nickel (NiSx, x = 0, 2/3, 8/9, and 4/3) and cobalt (CoSx, x = 0 and 8/9) onto a carbon-nitrogen-sulfur nanostructured network. Specifically, the oxidative aniline polymerization in the presence of metallic cations was combined with the calcination to regulate the separate formation of various self-supported phases in order to target the multifunctional applicability as both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and OER in a simulated alkaline seawater. The OER’s metric current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm−2 were achieved at the bimetallic for only 1.60 and 1.63 VRHE, respectively. This high-performance was maintained in the electrolysis with a starting voltage of 1.6 V and satisfactory stability at 100 mA over 17 h. Our findings validate a high selectivity for OER of ~100%, which outperforms the previously reported data of 87–95%.

Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13172883.

Abstract
Polybenzopyrrole (Pbp) is an emerging candidate for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. There is a need to develop synthesis strategies for this class of polymers that can help improve its overall properties and make it as suitable for energy storage applications as other well-studied polymers in this substance class, such as polyaniline and polypyrrole. In this study, by synthesizing Pbp in surfactant-supported acidic medium, we were able to show that the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of Pbp-based electrodes are strongly influenced by the respective polymerization conditions. Through appropriate optimization of various reaction parameters, a significant enhancement of the thermal stability (up to 549.9 °C) and the electrochemical properties could be achieved. A maximum specific capacitance of 166.0 ± 2.0 F g−1 with an excellent cycle stability of 87% after 5000 cycles at a current density of 1 A g−1 was achieved. In addition, a particularly high-power density of 2.75 kW kg−1 was obtained for this polybenzopyrrole, having a gravimetric energy density of 17 Wh kg−1. The results show that polybenzopyrroles are suitable candidates to compete with other conducting polymers as electrode materials for next-generation Faradaic supercapacitors. In addition, the results of the current study can also be easily applied to other systems and used for adaptations or new syntheses of advanced hybrid/composite Pbp-based electrode materials.

Iridium and Ruthenium Modified Polyaniline Polymer Leads to Nanostructured Electrocatalysts with High Performance Regarding Water Splitting. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13020190.

Abstract
The breakthrough in water electrolysis technology for the sustainable production of H2, considered as a future fuel, is currently hampered by the development of tough electrocatalytic materials. We report a new strategy of fabricating conducting polymer-derived nanostructured materials to accelerate the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and water splitting. Extended physical (XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX)) and electrochemical (cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)) methods were merged to precisely characterize the as-synthesized iridium and ruthenium modified polyaniline (PANI) materials and interrogate their efficiency. The presence of Ir(+III) cations during polymerization leads to the formation of Ir metal nanoparticles, while Ru(+III) induces the formation of RuO2 oxide nanoparticles by thermal treatment; they are therefore methods for the on-demand production of oxide or metal nanostructured electrocatalysts. The findings from using 0.5 M H2SO4 highlight an ultrafast electrochemical kinetic of the material PANI-Ir for HER (36 - 0 = 36 mV overpotential to reach 10 mA cm-2 at 21 mV dec-1), and of PANI-Ru for OER (1.47 - 1.23 = 240 mV overpotential to reach 10 mA cm-2 at 47 mV dec-1), resulting in an efficient water splitting exactly at its thermoneutral cell voltage of 1.45 V, and satisfactory durability (96 h).

Abstract
The development of reliable production routes for sustainable hydrogen (H2), which is an essential feedstock for industrial processes and energy carrier for fuel cells, is needed. It appears to be an unavoidable alternative to significantly reduce the dependence on conventional energy sources based on fossil fuels without increasing the atmospheric CO2 levels. Among the different power-to-X scenarios to access high purity H2, the electrochemical approach based on electrolysis looks to be a promising sustainable solution at both the small and large industrial scales. However, the practical realization of this important opportunity faces several challenges, including the efficient design of cost-effective catalytic materials to be used as a cathode with improved intrinsic and durable activity. In this contribution, we report the design and development of efficient nanostructured catalysts for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in aqueous media, whereby noble metal-free elements are embedded in a matrix of a conducting polymer, polyaniline (PANI). To increase the electrical conductivity and further the electrocatalytic ability toward HER of the chemically polymerized PANI in the presence of nickel (II) salt (nitrate), the PANI-based materials have first been stabilized at a mild temperature of 250-350°C in air and then carbonized at 800-1,000°C under nitrogen gas to convert the chemical species into nitrogen, sulfur, nickel, and carbon nanostructured networks (CNNs). Different physicochemical (TGA-DSC, Raman spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, EDX, ICP, CHNS, BET, and XPS) and electrochemical (voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectrometry) methods have been integrated to characterize the as-synthesized CNNs materials and interrogate the relationship of material-to-performance. It has been found that those synthesis conditions allow for the substantial increase of the electrocatalytic performance toward HER and OER in alkaline media in terms of the onset potential and charge transfer resistance and overpotential at the specific activity of 10 milliamps per square centimeter, thus ranking the present materials among the most efficient noble metal-free catalysts and making them possible candidates for integration in practical low-energy consumption alkaline electrolyzers.

Shim E, Noro J, Cavaco-Paulo A, Kim HR, Silva C. Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) as a Template for Laccase-Assisted Oxidation of Aniline. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2020; 8:438. [PMID: 32478056 PMCID: PMC7240045 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2020.00438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2019] [Accepted: 04/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Polyaniline (PANi) is a conducting polymer which has been subject of intensive research on the exploitation of new products and applications. The main aim of the work is the development of a conductive bacterial cellulose (BC)-based material by enzymatic-assisted polymerization of aniline. For this, we study the role of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a template for the in situ polymerization of aniline. Bacterial cellulose was used as the supporting material for the entrapment of CMC and for the in situ oxidation reactions. The amount of CMC entrapped inside BC was optimized as well as the conditions for laccase-assisted oxidation of aniline. The new oligomers were evaluated by spectrometric techniques, namely 1H NMR and MALDI-TOF, and the functionalized BC surfaces were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and reflectance spectrophotometry. The conductivity of the developed materials was evaluated using the four-probe methodology. The oligomers obtained after reaction in the presence of CMC as template display a similar structure as when the reaction is conducted only in BC. Though, after oxidation in the presence of this template, the amount of oligomers entrapped inside BC/CMC is considerably higher conferring to the material greater electrical conductivity and coloration. The use of CMC as a template for aniline oxidation on BC seems to be a promising and cheap strategy to improve the yield of functionalization and increment the properties of the materials, namely electrical conductivity and coloration.

Yonehara T, Goto H. Synthesis of Polyaniline/Scarlet 3R as a Conductive Polymer. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12030579. [PMID: 32150876 PMCID: PMC7182900 DOI: 10.3390/polym12030579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2019] [Revised: 02/04/2020] [Accepted: 02/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Polyaniline (PANI) was prepared in the presence of the acidic dye scarlet 3R. Color tuning was performed on PANI through doping–dedoping processes and by changing the solvent used during the optical absorption spectroscopic measurements. The chemical structure of the resulting polymer–dye composite was analyzed using infrared absorption spectroscopy, and it showed the occurrence of secondary doping in m-cresol. The shape of the UV–Vis optical absorption spectra for the composite solution is dependent on the types of organic solvents used during the analysis, which was influenced by the conformation of PANI and the ionic interactions between PANI and scarlet 3R.

Study on Direct Synthesis of Energy Efficient Multifunctional Polyaniline-Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite and Its Application in Aqueous Symmetric Supercapacitor Devices. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10010118. [PMID: 31936220 PMCID: PMC7022722 DOI: 10.3390/nano10010118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2019] [Revised: 12/31/2019] [Accepted: 01/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
The synthesis of promising nanocomposite materials can always be tricky and depends a lot on the method of synthesis itself. Developing such synthesis routes, which are not only simple but also can effectively catch up the synergy of the compositing material, is definitely a worthy contribution towards nanomaterial science. Carbon-based materials, such as graphene oxide, and conjugative polymers, such as conductive polyaniline, are considered materials of the 21st century. This study involves a simple one pot synthesis route for obtaining a nanocomposite of polyaniline and graphene oxide with synergistic effects. The study was carried out in a systematic way by gradually changing the composition of the ingredients in the reaction bath until the formation of nanocomposite took place at some particular reaction parameters. These nanocomposites were then utilized for the fabrication of electrodes for aqueous symmetric supercapacitor devices utilizing gold or copper as current collectors. The device manifested a good capacitance value of 264 F/g at 1 A/g, magnificent rate performance, and capacitance retention of 84.09% at a high current density (10 A/g) when gold sheet electrodes were used as the current collectors. It also showed a capacitance retention of 79.83% and columbic efficiency of 99.83% after 2000 cycles.

Comparative Study of the Adsorption of Acid Blue 40 on Polyaniline, Magnetic Oxide and Their Composites: Synthesis, Characterization and Application. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12182854. [PMID: 31487925 PMCID: PMC6765991 DOI: 10.3390/ma12182854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2019] [Revised: 08/30/2019] [Accepted: 08/31/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Conducting polymers (CPs), especially polyaniline (PANI) based hybrid materials have emerged as very interesting materials for the adsorption of heavy metals and dyes from an aqueous environment due to their electrical transport properties, fascinating doping/de-doping chemistry and porous surface texture. Acid Blue 40 (AB40) is one of the common dyes present in the industrial effluents. We have performed a comparative study on the removal of AB40 from water through the application of PANI, magnetic oxide (Fe3O4) and their composites. Prior to this study, PANI and its composites with magnetic oxide were synthesized through our previously reported chemical oxidative synthesis route. The adsorption of AB40 on the synthesized materials was investigated with UV-Vis spectroscopy and resulting data were analyzed by fitting into Tempkin, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) and Langmuir isotherm models. The Freundlich isotherm model fits more closely to the adsorptions data with R2 values of 0.933, 0.971 and 0.941 for Fe3O4, PANI and composites, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of Fe3O4, PANI and composites was, respectively, 130.5, 264.9 and 216.9 mg g-1. Comparatively good adsorption capability of PANI in the present case is attributed to electrostatic interactions and a greater number of H-bonding. Effect of pH of solution, temperature, initial concentration of AB40, contact time, ionic strength and dose of adsorbent were also investigated. Adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The activation energy of adsorption of AB40 on Fe3O4, PANI and composites were 30.12, 22.09 and 26.13 kJmol-1 respectively. Enthalpy change, entropy change and Gibbs free energy changes are -6.077, -0.026 and -11.93 kJ mol-1 for adsorption of AB40 on Fe3O4. These values are -8.993, -0.032 and -19.87 kJ mol-1 for PANI and -10.62, -0.054 and -19.75 kJ mol-1 for adsorption of AB40 on PANI/Fe3O4 composites. The negative sign of entropy, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy changes indicate spontaneous and exothermic nature of adsorption.

Highly Stable and Efficient Performance of Binder-Free Symmetric Supercapacitor Fabricated with Electroactive Polymer Synthesized via Interfacial Polymerization. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12101626. [PMID: 31108952 PMCID: PMC6567315 DOI: 10.3390/ma12101626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2019] [Revised: 05/13/2019] [Accepted: 05/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
The use of electroactive polyaniline (PANI) as an electrode material for a symmetric supercapacitor has been reported. The material was synthesized via interfacial polymerization, using ammonium per sulfate, dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA), and gasoline, respectively, in the oxidant, dopant, and novel organic phase, and was subsequently employed as an electrode material to design a binder-free symmetric capacitor. As properties of PANI rely on the method of synthesis as well as reaction parameters, the present combination of reactants, at pre-optimized conditions, in the interfacial polymerization, led to the formation of PANI exhibiting a high specific capacitance (712 Fg−1 at 0.5 Ag−1), a good rate capability (86% capacitance retention at 10 Ag−1), a very low solution resistance (Rs = 0.61 Ω), and a potential drop (IR = 0.01917 V). The device exhibited a high energy density of 28 Whkg−1, at a power density of 0.28 kWkg−1, and retained as high as 15.1 Whkg−1, at a high power density of 4.5 kWkg−1. Moreover, it showed an excellent cycling stability and retained 98.5% of coulombic efficiency after 5000 charge discharge cycles, without showing any signs of degradation of polymer.
