Synthesis and Characterization of Nanosize Polyanthranillic Acid for Solid Polymer Electrolyte

Abstract

Article history: Received 20 March 2019 Accepted 29 April 2019 Available online 05 June 2019 Conducting polymer of anthranilic acid (PANA) has been synthesized through emulsion polymerization technique. Emulsion polymerization helps in slowing down kinetics of polymerization in comparison to one-phase polymerization and thereby induces formation of monodispersed. Reaction progress of conducting polymer formation is studied by UV–Vis and FTIR spectroscopy. Morphology of PANA is characterized by XRD, TEM, AFM and electrochemical techniques. XRD of conducting polymer depicts the less crystalline nature of polymer with crystallite size of 75 nm. Voltammetry has shown the electroactive nature of PANA. The performance of energy storage devices including pseudocapacitors is evaluated mostly by measuring energy density and power density.
