    Abstract :

    In this work, polyaniline (PANI) nanowires have been successfully prepared using template synthesis technique by chemical polymerisation of aniline within the pores of anodic alumina template. The characterization of annealed and as-prepared samples was done by using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Source meter. The SEM confirms the wire-like morphology of as prepared and annealed PANI nanowires whereas XRD investigation shows the amorphous nature of as-prepared and annealed PANI nanowires. I-V studies of PANI nanowires show the increase in sensitivity of annealed PANI nanowires towards the gas sensing capability of prepared samples
