Conducting Polymer Hydrogels (CPHs) could provide 3-D interconnected electrical pathways, which can be beneficially applied to electrochemical devices such as bioelectronics, sensors and energy storage devices. One of the popular methods for CPHs synthesis is to form a 3-D network of conducting polymers with crosslinking agents by using monomer, initiator and crosslinker. In this study, we synthesize polyaniline-based CPHs by using aniline (monomer), ammonium persulfate (initiator) and phytic acid (crosslinker) and investigate the effect of the composition and drying time on the electrical properties of the resulting CPHs. Furthermore, we develop a prototype of a soft-supercapacitor based on the polyaniline CPH electrodes.
