Abstract

In this work, we have reported a unique strategy of using Meta-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) as an oxidant for Polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers preparation. A templateless rapid mixing method was employed for chemical polymerization of aniline at room temperature under rapid mixing and without use of additional oxidant. PANI nanofibers were fully characterized and their electrochemical properties have been studied in detail. Further, effects of toluene solution on PANI electrochemical properties were also investigated in detail. The results showed that PANI nanofibers, in the presence of toluene as solvent, had relatively high specific capacitance and high columbic efficiency compared to their bulk solution, which was due to the immobile of toluene solution and the fast diffusion of the H+ ions through the polymer material during the redox process.
