Polyaniline‐Coated Mesoporous Carbon Nanosheets with Fast Capacitive Energy Storage in Symmetric Supercapacitors

Polyaniline-capped mesoporous carbon nanosheets with high conductivity and porosity are synthesized by vapor deposition polymerization. The mesoporous carbon template is prepared by removing ordered cubic iron oxide nanocrystals embedded in the carbon matrix obtained by thermal decomposition of an iron-oleate complex in a sodium chloride matrix. The evaporated aniline monomers are slowly polymerized on the carbon surface pretreated with FeCl
