Abstract

Polyaniline (PANI) nanowire arrays have been prepared for the first time using Na5V12O32 nanowires as a sacrificial template. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to characterize the as-prepared PANI nanowire arrays. Further, the electrochemical properties of the PANI nanowire arrays for lithium-ion batteries were investigated with cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge experiment, and rate performance. It delivered a high discharge capacity of 119.79 mA h g?1 after 100 cycles between 2.0 and 4.0 V at 30 mA g?1.
