Abstract
The effect of anhydrous cuprous ions on the preparation and properties
of polyaniline was investigated. It was observed that the presence of
cuprous ions accelerates the formation of polyaniline films. The dry
conductivity of the film was also improved. The polyaniline samples of
10 S cm(-1) conductivity were obtained when Cu2+ and H+ ions are elec
trogenerated concurrently during the electro-oxidation of aniline. A m
echanism related to the role of cuprous ions which involves chemical a
nd electrochemical oxidation steps is proposed.
