Answer #1

Polyaniline nanofibers are more porous and have higher surface area than film polyaniline because of small fiber diameters which is 100-200 nm and are amphiphilic in nature.

These polyaniline nanofibers have cylindrical morphology that form more porous structures and as their diameter are in nanometers have larger surface area/unit mass which permits the increase in the surface activities whereas thin film polyaniline are in highly agglomerate form and large in size (diameters).

Hence less porous and have less surface area.
