Abstract
The purification of conductive polymer (e.g., polyaniline) particles is a challenging task, especially when the particle size is small. Herein, we demonstrate a unique strategy (electrode-based) to purify polyaniline particles by exploiting the difference in surface charge between particles and surfactants, and compare the results with a commonly used purification strategy (washing).
