Synonyms: 3D cross-linked polyaniline, emeraldine salt, doped by phytic acid; Conducting polymer; PAni; Polyaniline hydrogels; Self-healing polyaniline; Supercapacitor polyaniline
Application: This polyaniline product is crosslinked by a dopant molecule - phytic acid, to form a highly porous 3D nanostructure. It is intrinsically conductive and has large open channels advantageous for sensing and energy storage applications. These open micro/nano channels promote the transport of electrons and facilitates the diffusion of ions, and small molecules. Additionally, pyrolyzing this polyaniline could yield highly porous 3D cross-linked graphitic carbon for a broad range of applications.
