Facile synthesis of polyaniline ‘‘sunflowers” with arrays of oriented nanorods
Abstract.
Polyaniline (PANI) ‘‘sunflowers” made of arrays of oriented nanorods were synthesized by chemical oxidative
polymerization of aniline in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and suitable
concentration of HNO3 at about 0 oC (ice bath). The reaction conditions, such as the concentration
of reagents and reaction temperature were systematically investigated and controlled on the preparation
of PANI ‘‘sunflowers”. The results also suggest that HNO3 probably plays a key role in forming PANI ‘‘sunflowers”. A possible forming mechanism of the PANI nanostructures is offered.
