Polyaniline (PANI) was prepared by polymerization via the chemical oxidation of aniline monomer with ammonium persulfate as the initiator. The interfacial polymerization method was used to prepare PANI/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM][BF4] polyionic liquid (PIL). The obtained PANI/ [BMIM][BF4] PIL was investigated by the XRD, EDX, SEM, FTIR, and UV-Visible characterizations. X-ray diffractogram of PANI showed five prominent characteristic peaks at 27.1°, 24o, 21.8°, 19.8°, and 18.2°. This demonstrates the semi-crystalline character of the polyaniline produced through the interfacial polymerization process. Incorporation of [BMIM][BF4] into PANI reduced the crystalline phase and enhanced amorphicity. From the EDX pattern, several elements appeared in this test; oxygen had of the highest weight percentage of 54.2%. The SEM image showed a clear hierarchal porous structure with nano-sticks particles and forms a cross-linked framework between PANI and [BMIM][BF4]. From FTIR spectra of PIL, a prominent absorption peak at 3163.26 cm-1 was noted because of the N-H stretching vibrations present in the polymer. The UV-Vis spectra for PANI/[BMIM][BF4] polyionic liquid showed three peaks between 200 and 1060 nm. These bands result from π → π* and n → π* transitions, which are related to the excitement absorption of benzenoid and quinoid groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
