Enhancement of electrochemical properties of Schiff base polymers (TPB) can be done by doping pretreated carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes disrupted the π−π stacking of polymer molecular links and some microcosmic pore structures formed in the nanotubes doping process, and the carbon nanotubes are suitable for channeling of electrolyte ion diffusion from electrolyte solution body to the center of conductive polymer bulk.
