  • thermoelectric properties of polyaniline films with different doping concentrations of 10 Camphorsulfonic Acid
    Journal of Electronic Materials, 2013
    Co-Authors: Hiroaki Anno, Masahiro Hokazono, Fumio Akagi, Makoto Hojo, Naoki Toshima
    Abstract:

    The temperature dependence of the thermoelectric properties was investigated for polyaniline (PANI) films doped with different concentrations of (±)-10-Camphorsulfonic Acid (CSA) with molar ratio x of CSA to two phenyl-nitrogen units of x = 1 to 0.2. All PANI-CSA films exhibit p-type conduction. The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of the films with low CSA concentrations is consistent with a transport mechanism of variable-range hopping. On the other hand, the Seebeck coefficient above room temperature shows a linear increase with temperature, attributed to the metallic nature of PANI-CSA. As the CSA concentration decreases, the absolute value of the Seebeck coefficient increases while the electrical conductivity extremely decreases, probably due to the changes not only in the carrier concentration but also in the degree of structural disorder. The power factor increases monotonically with increasing CSA concentration toward x = 1 (the maximum limit). The thermal conductivity value of CSA-PANI film with x = 1 is as low as about 0.20 W m−1 K−1 in the through-plane direction and about 0.67 W m−1 K−1 in the in-plane direction. The thermoelectric figure of merit ZT in the in-plane direction is estimated to be approximately 1 × 10−3 for x = 1.

  • Stretched polyaniline films doped by (±)-10-Camphorsulfonic Acid : Anisotropy and improvement of thermoelectric properties
    Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, 2001
    Co-Authors: Hu Yan, Tsukasa Ohta, Naoki Toshima
    Abstract:

    The stretched polyaniline films doped by (±)-10-Camphorsulfonic Acid exhibited significant anisotropy of the electrical and thermoelectric properties. The thermoelectric figure-of-merit (ZT) of the stretched films in the direction parallel to the stretching direction is much higher than that of the unstretched counterpart, and moreover, the ZT increased with increasing drawing ratio. According to the experimental results of X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis-near IR spectroscopy the improvement of the ZT by the stretching process is revealed to be attributable to the increment of carrier mobility, which is proposed to be induced by the extended coil-like conformation of polyaniline.

  • thermoelectric properties of alternatively layered films of polyaniline and 10 Camphorsulfonic Acid doped polyaniline
    Chemistry Letters, 1999
    Co-Authors: Hu Yan, Naoki Toshima
    Abstract:

    Thermoelectric performance of polyaniline can be improved by formation of multilayered film structure. The alternatively layered films are composed of electrically insulating emeraldine base layers and electrically conducting (±)-10-Camphorsulfonic Acid (CSA)-doped emeraldine salt layers. The multilayered film exhibited 3.5 times higher thermoelectric power factor at ca. 300 K than a bulk film of polyaniline doped by CSA.

  • influence of electrochemical polymerization temperature on the chiroptical properties of Camphorsulfonic Acid doped polyaniline
    Macromolecules, 2006
    Co-Authors: Yingpit Pornputtkul, Leon A P Kanemaguire, Gordon G. Wallace
    Abstract:

    The chiroptical properties of electrochemically deposited emeraldine salt PAn·(+)-HCSA (HCSA = 10-Camphorsulfonic Acid) films have been found to vary markedly with the temperature employed during polymerization. The circular dichroism spectra of such films grown at >40 °C are inverted compared to the spectra of analogous films deposited at temperatures ≤25 °C, indicating an inversion of conformation for the polyaniline chains. These observations are rationalized in terms of a temperature-induced interconversion between the two diastereomeric emeraldine salt products from the doping of the growing polyaniline chains by the chiral (+)-CSA- anion. The marked temperature dependence of the diastereoselectivity highlights the importance of employing a fixed temperature during the electrosynthesis of optically active polyanilines.

  • Novel Secondary Dopants for Camphorsulfonic Acid Doped Polyaniline Emeraldine Salts
    Australian Journal of Chemistry, 2002
    Co-Authors: Ian D. Norris, Leon A. P. Kane-maguire, Gordon G. Wallace, Liming Dai, Fan Zhang, Albert W. H. Mau
    Abstract:

    The doping of emeraldine base with (±)-10-Camphorsulfonic Acid (HCSA) or (+)-HCSA in molten thymol (60°C) or liquid carvacrol (5-isopropyl-2-methylphenol) as solvents provides emeraldine polyaniline (PAn)·HCSA salts (1) with 'expanded coil'-type conformations for their polyaniline chains. Conversion of both racemic PAn·(±)-HCSA (1a) and optically active PAn·(+)-HCSA (1b) films from a 'compact coil' into a partial 'expanded coil' conformation is also facilitated by exposure of the films to either thymol or carvacrol vapours. These conformational changes are supported by modifications to their ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared and circular dichroism spectra and by the marked increase in the electrical conductivity of the films. In the case of carvacrol vapour, treated films of (1a) and (1b) exhibited conductivities of ≥ 130 S/cm, similar to conductivities previously generated by m-cresol. In view of the much lower toxicity of carvacrol compared with m-cresol, it would appear to have considerable promise as an effective 'secondary dopant' for emeraldine salts leading to materials with enhanced electrical conductivity.

  • electrochemical formation of chiral polyaniline colloids codoped with or 10 Camphorsulfonic Acid and polystyrene sulfonate
    Macromolecules, 1998
    Co-Authors: Peter C Innis, Ian D. Norris, Leon A P Kanemaguire, Gordon G. Wallace
    Abstract:

    Chiral polyaniline colloids have been generated via the electrohydrodynamic polymerization of aniline in aqueous (+)- or (−)-10-Camphorsulfonic Acid (HCSA) using polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) as a steric stabilizer and codopant. Potentiostatic polymerization at +0.9 V (vs Ag/AgCl) was employed. The colloidal PAn·HCSA/PSS dispersions produced after various electropolymerization periods (30−90 min) became optically active upon aging over 24 h, revealing mirror-imaged circular dichroism (CD) spectra for PAn·(+)-HCSA/PSS and PAn·(−)-HCSA/PSS samples. This indicated an enantioselective rearrangement of the polyaniline chains induced by the chiral HCSA dopants after the initial electropolymerization and Acid doping. Dialyzed colloidal dispersions were stable for extended periods (6 months) and revealed particles with a mean size of 180 ± 10 nm, although particles were observed at up to 1000 nm. Similar particles were observed by TEM studies. Chemical dedoping with ammonia of films cast from these dispersions yiel...
