摘要

A practical approach to prepare thin fibrillar polyaniline was developed using ferric nitrate as an oxidant without any external dopants and templates. Doped polyaniline was directly obtained with iron (III) nitrate anion connected to imine atoms in the polyaniline backbone. The diameter and conductivity of the polyaniline nanofibers were 15 similar to 28 nm and Ca. 10(-1) S/cm, respectively and they were strongly affected by the molar ratio of ferric nitrate to aniline. The formation mechanism of the nanofibers was proposed to be aniline oligomerical micellar self-assembly.
