Large area and homogeneous PANI thin films are important in high-performance organic electronics, but controlling the thickness and crystallinity in PANI thin films is challenging. Here the authors use air-water interface and surfactant monolayer templates to synthesize large area crystalline PANI films with tunable thickness.
