Abstract

The study of variations in the concentration of ammonium persulfate (APS) in the synthesis of polyaniline (PANI)
using the rapid mixing method aims to determine the best candidate for chromium metal ion adsorbents among the
PANI produced by varying the APS concentration. The variations in the APS concentration used were 0.1 M, 0.3 M,
0.5 M, and 0.7 M. The synthesized material was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman
spectroscopy, while particle morphology and size were assessed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The
results confirmed that the PANI produced was in the form of Emeraldine Salt (ES), with PANI 0.7 M yielding the
highest mass of 3.03 grams and exhibiting globular particles ranging from 75 to 106 nm and a significant chromium
(VI) ion adsorption capacity of 14.22 mg/g. These findings indicate that synthesizing PANI at an APS concentration
of 0.7 M is highly effective for creating nano-sized PANI with excellent adsorption properties. This material shows
great potential for use in water treatment applications related to leather tanning and as a counter electrode in dye-
sensitized solar cells, thereby highlighting the broader impact of the research.
