Abstract

Coaxial polyaniline/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanocomposites were prepared by ultrasonic–assisted chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline monomers in hydrochloric acid solution, in which MWCNTs with minimal defects was used as a template. Redoping of hydrochloric acid was achieved after the as-prepared nanocomposites were treated by ammonia. The nanocomposites were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and cyclic voltammetry, respectively. The results indicated that HCl doped nanocomposites were better than HCl redoped nanocomposites on the thermal stability and electrochemical properties.
