Abstract

Polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers were synthesized in the presence of Polyethylene glycol. The morphologies of polyaniline nanostructures were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The PANI nanofibers have diameters in the range of 20–50 nm and lengths up to several micrometers. The properties of the as-prepared products were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum. CV experiment shows the obtained PANI nanofibers has good electrochemical activity.
