Abstract
Polyaniline (PANI) in its uncontrolled and uncharacterized form (aniline black) was the subject of several mainly chemical studies for a long time [1]. However, only very recently a better understanding of its nature has been developed in connection with its excellent application potentialities as a polymeric electrode in electrochemical cells [2,3]. Four different structural forms as shown in Fig.1 have been suggested. Evidence for these forms has been obtained from chemical analysis, NMR and priliminary photoelectron spectroscopy work [3,4]. The polymer can be interconverted chemically or electrochemically between these forms by proton (acid-base) or proton and electron (oxidation-reduction) reactions.
