Extended Abstract
The advantages of polyaniline as an active material for rechargeable batteries are due to the following reasons:
-
A higher capacity than that of any other conducting polymer because of the proton exchanges which decrease the coulombic interactions.
-
A higher stability compared to the other conducting polymers.
-
A high specific conductivity, which can be more than 100 S/cm.
-
Large facilities for the processing because it is possible to prepare films or composites, from solutions or by injection moulding.
-
Fibrillar morphology of polyaniline.
-
Compatibility of polyaniline with some other materials already used as positive electrodes having the potential in the range of 2.5 to 4 V vs lithium.
-
Low weight of the polymer and a low cost for the preparation.
