Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Oct 14:(38):5749-51. doi: 10.1039/b912513b. Epub 2009 Aug 7.

Abstract

Highly dense arrays of ordered and aligned nanorods of polyaniline with 10 nm diameter on transparent ITO substrate have been successfully fabricated using supramolecular assemblies of block copolymer as scaffold material; the ordered arrays of polyaniline nanorods so fabricated were found to exhibit excellent electrochemical properties with an electrochemical capacitance value of 3407 F g(-1).
