Abstract
Abstract A novel, scalable methacrylated graphene oxide (MeGO) nanostructured polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite was synthesized and electrodeposited on the surface of fluorine-doped tin oxide electrode (FTOE). The two-dimensional support maintained a suitable substrate and arrayed in a conductive polymer matrix, creating an ultra-superconductive platform with extraordinary characteristics. The versatility of the nanocomposite performance was corroborated by altering the amount of MeGO coated on FTOE and changing the charge density of electro-polymerized PANI on the substrate. This exceptional nanostructure material enabled a robust platform design that demonstrated the extraordinary performance with enhanced conductivity and stability. Charge transfer resistance ( R ct ) was dramatically decreased from 11,000 (for bare FTOE) to 65 (for MeGO/PANI).
