Template-free, rapid polymerisation was employed to synthesize polyaniline nanofibers using chemical oxidative polymerisation of aniline, with HCl as a dopant. The doped and dedoped nanofibers were deposited onto conductometric sapphire transducers for gas sensing applications. The sensors were exposed to various concentrations of hydrogen (H2) gas at room temperature. The sensitivity was measured to be 1.11 for doped and 1.07 for dedoped polyaniline nanofiber sensors upon exposure to 1% H2. Fast response times of 28 and 32 s were observed for dedoped and doped sensors, respectively. The dedoped nanofiber sensor outperforms the doped sensor in terms of baseline stability and repeatability. Due to its room temperature operation, the gas sensor is promising for environmental applications.
