Abstract

Electropolymerisation of polyaniline (PANI) has been investigated using cyclic voltammetry in aqueous bath. The effect of dopant on the structure, morphology & optical properties of electrodeposited PANI has also been studied using x-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical absorbance & luminescence spectroscopy. It is shown that the presence of a neutral salt (KI) in the deposition matrix imparts enhanced crystallinity to PANI films.
