Abstract
In this article, Polyaniline(PANI) nanostructure was prepared at room temperature using oxalic acid(OA) as dopant and ammonium persulphate (APS) as oxidant by self-assembly method. The structure and property of polyaniline nanostructures were characterized by SEM, TEM, IR and X-ray diffraction(XRD) methods. These measurements prove the successful synthesis of polyaniline nanostructures. It is found that the molar ratio of OA to An(aniline monomer) affects the morphology of the PANI product..
