Polyaniline (PANI) is one of the most common and widely studied conducting polymers due to its excellent electro-chemical and electrical properties and its various applications in areas such as solar cell technologies, drug delivery, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), field-effect transistors (FETs), sensors, electro-chromic display, etc. PANI thin films play an important role in energy storage and conversion devices and show great potential in the supercapacitors owing to their high specific capacitance, high flexibility, and low cost. However, no in-depth information about this emerging PANI thin film technology is available. Properties, Techniques, and Applications of Polyaniline (PANI) Thin Films: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential publication that focuses on high-throughput synthesis of PANI thin films and their characterization techniques. The book also covers promising applications of PANI thin films and applications including solar cells. Featuring research on topics such as solar cells, post-synthesis treatments, and physiochemistry, this book is ideally designed for scientists, industry practitioners, engineers, managers, academicians, researchers, and students seeking coverage in the areas of polymeric applications.
Chander, Subhash: - Dr. Subhash Chander, a recipient of highly prestigious the CAS Future Leaders 2019 by the CAS (a division of American Chemical Society, ACS) and only from India among 30 elected leaders across the world. He has also been awarded one of the most prestigious Bhaskara Advanced Solar Energy (BASE) Fellowship-2016 by the Indo-US Science & Technology Forum (IUSSTF), New Delhi to work at the Iowa State University, USA. He has an outstanding record of achievement as several first-authored publications and more than 850 citations which showed his tremendous scientific research capability. Dr. Chander Ph.D. from the Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur and his area of research has mainly focused on solar photovoltaics and has a good hand on the experimental tools viz. deposition and characterization techniques.
