a b s t r a c t Polyaniline (PANI) loaded ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) composites were prepared via different processes, involving the in situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of OMC or its precursor and the direct physical mixing method. On the basis of analyzing the morphologies and structures of these three OMC/PANI composites, the influence of compounding processes on the el…
