Abstract
Polyaniline (PANI) is a famous conductive polymer, and it has received tremendous consideration from researchers in the field of nanotechnology for the improvement of sensors, optoelectronic devices, and photonic devices. PANI is doped easily by different acids and dopants because of its easy synthesis and remarkable environmental stability. This review focuses on different preparation processes of PANI thin film by chemical and physical methods. Several features of PANI thin films, such as their magnetic, redox, and antioxidant, anti-corrosion, and electrical and sensing properties, are discussed in this review. PANI is a highly conductive polymer. Given its unique properties, easy synthesis, low cost, and high environmental stability in various applications such as electronics, drugs, and anti-corrosion materials, it has attracted extensive attention. The most important PANI applications are briefly reviewed at the end of this review.
Highlights
In previous work, researchers focused on producing conductive polymers, which are achieved in the fields of optics, electronics, energy, and so on [1,2,3,4]
Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film is launched by Microwave-Assisted Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (mSILAR), which is first fixed on the glass substrate and replaced in sodium zinc in hot water at 90–95 ◦C and room temperature using a micro immersion coating control unit and dropping anhydrous aluminum chloride (AlCl3) to perform aluminum doping to the shower over sodium [87]
This review considers PANI chemical deposition techniques, such as polymerization of bulk chemical, polymerization of surface, chemical vapor deposition, Langmuir–Blodgett method, layer by layer (LbL) self-assembly method, spin coating method, drop coating method, nanopatterning method, inkjet printing method, screen printing method, line patterning method, and nucleation method
Summary
Researchers focused on producing conductive polymers, which are achieved in the fields of optics, electronics, energy, and so on [1,2,3,4]. PANI has potential applications in various fields, such as organic electronics, biomedical fields, and anti-corrosion materials due to its extraordinary properties, such as exceptional electrical features, decent chemical and environmental stability, low cost, and easy preparation process [33].
