Well-dispersed single-walled carbon nanotube/polyaniline composite films
Well-dispersed single-walled carbon nanotube/polyaniline composite films
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) / polyaniline (PANI) composite films with good uniformity and dispersion were
prepared by electrochemical polymerization of aniline containing well-dissolved SWNTs. The results of atomic force
microscopy (AFM) and UV–Vis adsorption spectroscopy show that aniline can be used to solubilize SWNTs via formation
of donor–acceptor complexes. The electrochemical deposition of SWNT–aniline solutions have been investigated by cyclic
voltammetry. The results show that SWNT-based aniline solutions exhibit a drastic increase in peak current within the
potential scanning region. The doping effect of SWNTs on PANI films was investigated by electrochemistry and FTIR
spectroscopy. The results indicate that the enhanced electroactivity and conductivity of the SWNT/PANI composite films
may be due to the strong interaction between SWNTs and PANI, which facilitates the effective degree of electron
delocalization.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) / polyaniline (PANI) composite films with good uniformity and dispersion were
prepared by electrochemical polymerization of aniline containing well-dissolved SWNTs. The results of atomic force
microscopy (AFM) and UV–Vis adsorption spectroscopy show that aniline can be used to solubilize SWNTs via formation
of donor–acceptor complexes. The electrochemical deposition of SWNT–aniline solutions have been investigated by cyclic
voltammetry. The results show that SWNT-based aniline solutions exhibit a drastic increase in peak current within the
potential scanning region. The doping effect of SWNTs on PANI films was investigated by electrochemistry and FTIR
spectroscopy. The results indicate that the enhanced electroactivity and conductivity of the SWNT/PANI composite films
may be due to the strong interaction between SWNTs and PANI, which facilitates the effective degree of electron
delocalization.
