Graphene and polyaniline with thermoelectric properties are one of the potential substitutes for inorganic materials for flexible thermoelectric applications. In this study, we studied the photo-induced thermoelectric effect of graphene-polyaniline composites. The graphene-polyaniline composites were synthesized by introducing an amine functional group to graphene oxide for covalently connecting graphene and polyaniline, reducing the graphene oxide, and then polymerizing the graphene oxide with aniline. Graphene-polyaniline composites were prepared by changing the aniline contents in order to expect an optimal photothermoelectric effect, and their structural properties were confirmed through FT-IR and Raman analysis. The photocurrent and photovoltage characteristics were analyzed by irradiating light asymmetrically without an external bias and the current and voltage with various aniline contents. While the photocurrent trends to the electrical conductivity of the graphene-polyaniline composites, the photovoltage was related to the temperature change of the graphene-polyaniline composite, which was converted into thermal energy by light.

전도성 고분자인 폴리아닐린은 여러 흥미로운 성질을 지니고 있어 많은 연구자들의 연구대상으로 주목받고 있다. 이런 성질 들로는 전도성, 전자파 차폐, 선택적 기체투과성 등이 있다. 이중 폴리아닐린의 기체투과성은 몇 가지 문제해결이 선행되어야 하지만 매우 높은 선택도를 나타내기 때문에 주목받고 있다. 그러나 너무 낮은 투과도를 나타내며 가공성이 좋지 않기 때문에 복합막이나 비대칭막의 제조에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 폴리아닐린의 기체투과량을 높이기 위해서 분자의 크기가 큰 도판트를 사용하고 이를 지지체위에 캐스팅한 복합막을 제조하여 기체투과성을 살펴보았다.

In this study, reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline composite was fabricated tomaximize their advantages with electrochemical performances and use as a electrodematerial for supercapcaitor. Polyaniline as an electrode material was synthesized bychemical polymerization of aniline monomer and reduced graphene oxide wasintroduced to prepare composite with polyaniline without any pre-treatment. Thereduced graphene oxide, polyaniline and their composite electrodes were fabricatedon gold coated PET(polyethylene terephthalate) substrate through spray coatingmethod which can also apply to industrial scale. we have also prepared reducedgraphene oxide and polyaniline single material electrode to compare theirelectrochemical properties with reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline composite electrode. We have analyzed and compared electrochemical properties of eachelectrodes by using cyclic voltammetry(CV), galvanostaticcharge-discharge(GCD) and electrochemical impedancespectroscopy(EIS) at same condition. As a result, reduced graphene oxide /polyaniline composite electrode showed higher capacitance value more thanpolyaniline and reduced graphene oxide electrode, respectively. Internal resistanceof reduce graphene oxide/polyaniline composite electrode was 24% and 58% lessthan polaniline and reduced graphene oxide electrode respectively. These resultsconsidered that reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline composite electrode has potential ability and enable to apply flexible energy storage and wearable devices.

The polyaniline films of emeraldine base (EB) and leucoemeraldine base (LEB) form doped with cam-phorsulfonic acid (CSA) were prepared by casting the mixed solution of chloroform and m-cresol on ITO (indium tin oxide) electrode. By analyzing UV-vis spectra of the mixed solutions, the effects of the secondary doping by m-cresol were obtained. And the conductivity of polyaniline film was increased with increasing m-cresol content. As the results of analyzing cyclic voltammograms, it was known that the redox peak currents of polyaniline electrode prepared from LEB were larger and more reversible than those of polyaniline eleclrodes prepared from EB. The charge transfer resistances $(R_{ct})$ of polyaniline electrodes were reduced with increasing m-cresol content, showing smaller Rct for LEB/CSA than EB/CSA.

Electrically conductive composites have been prepared by treating fabrics with oxidizing agent and exposing them to aniline, which deposited a substantial amount of conductive polymer within the interstices of the material. However the conductivity of the composite fabrics was limited by the irregular deposition of the conductive polymer layer. To improve the conductivity of polyaniline/nylon 6 composite fabrics, we modified the surface characteristics of nylon 6 fabrics by various plasma treatments and increased diffusion and adsorption of aniline by ultrasonic treatments. By the oxygen plasma treatment, attachment of functional groups such as C-O and C-OH increased on the surface of nylon 6 fiber, which promoted adhesion to polyaniline resulting in the higher add-on and electrical conductivity. Electrical conductivities of polyaniline/nylon 6 composite fabrics were highly increased by ultrasonic treatment, which assisted the diffusion of aniline into the inside of nylon fabrics by cavitation and vibration. Also, the effects of monomer concentration and the number of deposition cycles on the nylon 6 fabric conductivity Were investigated. As a result, the fabric conductivity increased with the monomer concentration and the number of polymerization deposition cycles.

Molecular weight of polyaniline is controlled in the range of oligomer to low molecular weight by controlling the ratio of aniline dimer (p-aminodiphenylamine) to monomer. Aniline dimers act as nucleation sites in chain growth during the polymerization of aniline. The molecular weights of polyanilines are estimated by GPS and relative viscosity measurement. The physical and chemical properties of polyanilines with various molecular weights are studied by UV-Vis, FT-IR, and electrical conductivity measurements.

1991년 Anderson 등이 높은 산소/질소 선택도를 갖는 분리막에 관한 발표를 한 이후, 많은 연구자들은 같은 결과를 재연하기 위한 연구와 함께 산소의 투과도를 향상시키기 위한 연구를 행하여 왔다. 그들은 HCl과 NaOH로 도핑, 탈도핑, 재도핑한 폴리아닐린막이 산소/질소의 선택도가 30에 가까운, 대단히 높은 값을 갖는다고 보고하였다. 한편 막의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid와 같이 분자크기가 큰 도판트를 사용하려는 시도가 있었지만, 이에 따른 선택도의 감소 때문에 좋은 결과를 얻지는 못하였다. Pron등은 bis(2-ethyl hexyl) hydrogen phosphate(BEP)로 도핑된 폴리아닐린이 일반적인 유기용매에 잘 녹고, 여기에 PMMA나 ABS를 블렌드한 폴리아닐린은 높은 전도성과 기계적인 물성을 가질 수 있다고 하였다. Bis(2-ethyl hexyl) hydrogen phosphate는 mp가 -60$\circ$C정도 이며, 폴리아닐린 용액에 첨가하였을 때 상분리가 일어나지 않는 특성을 지닌 가소제이다.

In this study, the polyaniline films of emeraldine base(EB) and lucoemeraldine base(LEB) form chemically doping with poly(sodium-4 styrenesulfonate, PSS) were prepared by casting the mixed solution of chloroform and m-cresol on ITO(indium tin oxide) electrode. By analyzing UV-vis spectra of the mixed solutions, the effects of the secondary doping by m-cresol were obtained. And the conductivity of polyaniline film was increased with increasing m-cresol content. The results suggest that the improvement of conductivity obtained by secondary doping results primarily from interaction of polyaniline and m-cresol. As the results of analyzing cyclic voltammograms, it was known that the redox peak currents of polyaniline electrode prepared from LEB were larger and more reversible than those of polyaniline electrodes prepared from EB. The charge transfer resistances($R_{ct}$) of polyaniline electrodes were reduced with increasing m-cresol content, and LEB/PSS electrodes were smaller than EB/PSS electrodes. This result agrees to the analysis of the redox peak current of cyclic voltammograms. The solution resistance and the capacity of electrical double layer almost unchanged in all prepared polyaniline electrodes. It was confirmed that solution resistance was independent of frequency factor in AC impedance spectra. Also the polyaniline film doping with PSS was revealed pseudo n-type characteristics of conducting polymer.

A three-dimensional (3D) porous polyaniline (PANI) film was fabricated by a combined photo-and soft-lithography technique based on a large-area nanopillar array, followed by a controlled chemical dilute polymerization. The as-obtained 3D PANI film consisted of hierarchically interconnected PANI nanofibers, resulting in a 3D hierarchical nanoweb film with a large surface and open porous structure. Using electrochemical measurements, the resulting 3D PANI film was demonstrated as a flexible pH sensor electrode, exhibiting a high sensitivity of 60.3 mV/pH, which is close to the ideal Nernstian behavior. In addition, the 3D PANI electrode showed a fast response time of 10 s, good repeatability, and good selectivity. When the 3D PANI electrode was measured under a mechanically bent state, the electrode exhibited a high sensitivity of 60.4 mV/pH, demonstrating flexible pH sensor performance.
