Summary: Polyaniline (PANI) is a widely used conducting polymer for energy storage applications. However, its poor cyclability and capacity retention have limited its practical use. This review focuses on PANI and its composites, highlighting efforts to improve their mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical performance. Various composites, including PANI-carbon and PANI-acid-doped, are discussed, along with the effects of concentration and processing techniques on their properties. The review concludes with advances in PANI composite performance, challenges, and recommendations for future improvement.

Summary: In this study, hybrid organic/inorganic composites of polyaniline/nickel were prepared using in-situ oxidation method with the presence of ammonium peroxydisulfate and nickel microparticles. Nickel was coated with polyaniline as observed under electron microscopy. FTIR and Raman spectroscopies showed a reduced degree of polyaniline protonation. The composites exhibited lower conductivity, which can be explained by the partial reduction of polyaniline with hydrogen gas evolved during synthesis and the subsequent hydrogenation catalyzed by nickel. Magnetic properties conferred by nickel were also reported.
