Abstract

The results of the investigation on the use of polyaniline (PANI) as a cathode material in a battery configuration, having magnesium as anode and a neutral aqueous solution of one of the magnesium salts such as perchlorate, chloride and bromide as an electrolyte, are presented. This system shows a open circuit voltage in the range 1.6–1.8 V. The study indicates that the capacity of the system largely depends upon the anion present in the electrolyte.

      Besides, the electric conductivity and potential could be regulated by adjusting the doping degree of PANI and doped group. As positive electrode materials, PANI has great potential application in many kinds of batteries, such as the primary battery, rechargeable battery, fuel cell and solar battery [6-10]. At present, there are some pieces of literature about PANI cathode as seawater battery.

      Moreover, polymers can be facilely designed with structural diversity.3 The first attempt using polymer as cathodes was conducted in 1996.50 The primary prototype system adopted a conducting polymer PANI as the cathode, Mg alloy as the anode and aqueous magnesium salts solution (MgCl2, MgBr2 and Mg(ClO4)2) as electrolyte.

      Curve (a) shows that at current density of 667 mA g−1 the discharge potential of magnesium-polyaniline battery ranges from 2.43 V to 1.76 V (vs. Mg2+/Mg) with an average discharge potential of 2.10 V. And in the current density range of 667–6160 mA g−1, the average discharge potential of magnesium-polyaniline battery is in the range of 2.10–1.90 V. The discharge potential is much higher than the nominal voltage of Cd|NiOOH (1.20 V) or MH|NiOOH (1.20 V) batteries [39] and the discharge potential of the magnesium-polyaniline battery Kumar et al. [16] and Feng et al. [40] have reported. Effect of current density on the specific discharge capacity of magnesium-polyaniline battery is shown in Fig. 8b.
