             abstract = "Polyaniline (PAni) widely studied conductive polymer due to its 
                         incredible versatility, electrical properties, and low cost. PAni 
                         usually is produced by chemical or electrochemical synthesis. 
                         However, these processes either generate a large amount of waste 
                         or are expensive and produce a small amount. The catalytic system 
                         incorporated into the PAni synthesis can be a strategic way to 
                         develop clean and low-cost processes. Therefore, we propose a 
                         synthesis of PAni catalyzed by carbon fiber (CF) reported for the 
                         first time. The procedure is to immerse the CF in an aqueous 
                         solution of aniline and H2SO4, at room temperature, in an open 
                         flask. Tests were carried out to investigate the CF as a catalyst 
                         and the molecular oxygen as an oxidant in the polymerization 
                         reaction. The samples were characterized by scanning electron 
                         microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray 
                         photoelectron spectroscopy. According to the analyses, the 
                         reaction catalysts are heteroatoms on the fiber surface. Molecular 
                         oxygen present in atmospheric air is the oxidant of the reaction. 
                         The method is environmentally friendly, simple, and economical 
                         route to produce a conductive form of PAni on carbon fiber. The 
                         composite produced was evaluated as a possible electrode for a 
                         supercapacitor, and presented interesting results for application 
                         in energy storage devices.",
