Synthesis and Characterization of Manganese (Mn) Doped Polyaniline

Abstract

Ankit Gupta and Mahendra Kumar

To study the Mn doping effect on the specific capacitance of PANI, concentration of Mn was varied from 0.3 to 1.5 weight percent. Surface morphology was examined by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) which showed nanofiber aggregate structure of pure PANI and porous and well distributed nanofibers for the doped PANI. The DC electrical resistivity (ρ) of pure PANI and Mn doped PANI films were measured which shows semiconducting behavior of pure PANI and Mn doped samples.
