Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a conductive two-dimensional polyaniline (PANT) nanosheets template. The method comprises polymerizing aniline on an ice surface. The PANI nanosheets show distinctly high current flows of 5.5 mA at 1 V and a high electrical conductivity of 35 S/cm, which mark a significant improvement over previous values on other PANIs reported over the past decades. These improved electrical properties of the PANI nanosheets are attributed to the long-range ordered edge-on π-stacking of the quinoid ring, ascribed to the ice surface-assisted vertical growth of PANI. The PANI nanosheet can be easily transferred onto various types of substrates via float-off from the ice surfaces. In addition, PANI can be patterned into any shape using predetermined masks, and this is expected to facilitate the eventual convenient and inexpensive application of conducting polymers in versatile electronic device forms.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A highly conductive crystalline nanosheet having an orthorhombic structure in which quinoid rings are arranged in a vertical direction and which has an edge-on π-π stacking of conjugated rings. 2. The highly conductive crystalline nanosheet of claim 1 , which is one doped with an emeraldine salt. 3. The highly conductive crystalline nanosheet of claim 1 , which has an electrical conductivity of 10 S/cm or higher.
