Micro/nanostructures of conducting polymers not only have the metallic conductivity, and reversible chemical and electrochemical properties and physical properties upon a novel doping/de- doping process, while processing qualities of conventional polymers, but they also have characteristics of nano-materials in general that lead to a large variety of applications especially in light-emitting and electronic devices, chemical sensors, separation membranes, and antistatic coatings. Micro/nano- structured polyaniline (PANI) has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years because of its low cost, ease of preparation, unique chemical and physical properties controlled by the oxidation and protonation state, and excellent environmental stability. Therefore, the controlled synthesis, multifunctional properties created by a cooperation effect and applications of PANI micro/ nanostructures has become one of the hot topics in the area of nano-materials. In the review, the latest advances of synthesis, properties, and applications of the PANI micro/nanostucutures and related materials are presented based of our research achievements of polyaniline micro/nanostructures selfassembled by a template-free method.
