Abstract

In this article, polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles in the uniform size (3.2-10
nm in diameter) were successfully prepared by ultrasonic irradiation method
at different times in the presence of hydrochloric acid as a dopant and
ammonium peroxydisulfate (APS) as an oxidant. The dependence of particle
size, morphologies, and crystallinity on the time of ultrasonic irradiation
reaction was studied using transmission electron microscope (TEM) images,
and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The data indicated that, the particle size was
increased with increasing the time of reaction. The vibrational structure and
electronic transition were studied using FTIR and UV-VIS spectroscopic
techniques. All data confirmed that, the particle size of polyaniline
nanoparticle was increased with increasing the time of ultrasonic irradiation
reaction.
