Polyaniline (PANI) is an attractive candidate among the various conductive polymers based on its unique doping/de-doping behavior, intrinsic electrical conductivity, facile synthesis, and environmental stability. However, the poor conductivity and cycle stability in an acid medium have restricted its applications. Our work aims at solving the above problems effectively by doping silver ions into PANI. The PANI and PANI doped with silver ions (PANI/Ag+) were synthesized by a facile interfacial polymerization process, which used aniline as a starting material in toluene in contact with an aqueous solution of silver nitrate varied from 0.04 mol•L-1 to 0.20 mol•L …
