Two-Dimensional Polyaniline Crystal (2DPANI) – Metallic Conductivity
Researchers at TU Dresden and Max Planck Institute created a 2D polyaniline crystal that conducts electricity like a metal even between its layers. It shows in-plane conductivity of ~16 S/cm and out-of-plane of ~7 S/cm, rising further at low temperatures. This breakthrough opens doors for lightweight, metal-free organic electronics and efficient electrodes for energy and sensor applications.
