Electrochemically assembling of a porous nano-polyaniline network in a reverse micelle and its application in a supercapacitor
Abstract
A polyaniline (PANI) film was electrochemically polymerized onto an ITO substrate by the pulse galvanostatic method in a reverse micelle electrolyte. The morphology of the as-prepared PANI was investigated by using a scanning electron microscope. An interesting result was that a nano-PANI was observed with a diameter of 100 nm. Further work involves investigating the potential application of the PANI films to a high performance supercapacitor
