Two-dimensional polyaniline nanosheets via liquid-phase exfoliation

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/26/4/048102

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) organic nanomaterials are fascinating because of their unique properties and pentential applications in future optoelectronic devices. Polyaniline (PANI) has attracted much attention for its high conductivity, good environmental stability and unusual doping chemistry. We report on liquid-phase exfoliation of layered PANI films grown by electrochemical polymerization. Atomic force microscopy images demonstrate that few- or even mono-layer PANI nanosheets can be fabricated. The PANI nanosheets can be transferred onto a variety of surfaces, providing a promising route to their incorporation into a variety of devices for further studies and various applications.

Keywords: two-dimensional nanosheets polyaniline electrochemical polymerization liquid-phase exfoliation
