Binary-doped conducting chiral polyaniline (PAni) was synthesized by electrochemical polymerization of aniline at low-temperature (0 oC) and room-temperature (RT) conditions. (+)-Camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) were used as a binary dopant. Formation of the binary-doped PAni rather than a mixture of the corresponding singledoped PAni was confirmed by cyclic voltammogram, FT-IR and circular dichroism spectra. The temperature influenced the electrochemical behavior and doping level, thus determining the crystallinity and morphology of the PAni. However, among other results, morphology of the PAni is found to be most strongly depends on the polymerization temperature. With increased temperature from the initial state to RT, morphology of the PAni changed from fibrous to short-fibrous structure. The sheet resistance of the PAni films on an ITO was measured by using four-point probe dc method.
