Polyaniline (PANI) reduces silver nitrate to metallic silver. Polyaniline bases having different morphologies – granular or nanotubular – and oligoaniline microspheres have been left to react with silver nitrate in acidic, neutral, and alkaline media. The content of silver, typically 20–30 wt.%, was determined by thermogravimetric analysis. The formation of silver inside PANI nanotubes has been observed. The highest conductivity, 943 S cm−1, was found with silver reduced by nanotubular PANI base in 0.1 M nitric acid at 17.3 wt.% silver content. Infrared and Raman spectroscopies have been used to study the changes in the molecular structure of the PANI bases of various morphologies before and after reaction with silver nitrate.
