Electrical Conductivity, Thermoelectric Power, and Optical Properties of Organo-Soluble Polyaniline Organic Semiconductor

Abstract: The electrical conductivity, thermoelectric power (TEP), and optical properties of organo-soluble polyaniline doped with HCl have been investigated. The electrical conductivity and TEP of the sample increase with increasing temperature. The electrical conductivity and TEP results of the polymer suggest that it is a p-type semiconductor. The fundamental absorption edge in the polymer is formed by the direct allowed transitions, and the optical band gap value was found to be 2.79 eV. The absorption spectra for a… Show more

“…The optical band gap of the poly(3-thiophene boronic acid) is lower than that of PPTh films (E g ¼ 2.2 eV) [13], plasma polymerized thiophene (E g ¼ 2.0 eV) [12] and AF and BFpoly(thiophene)s (E g ¼ 2 eV) [11]. It is evaluated that the decrease in the optical band gap of the poly(3-thiophene boronic acid) is a good thing for the applications of electronic devices based polymer, for example, light emitting diode (LED), because the optical band gap of the semiconductor polymer allows the fabrication of new LEDs in which the color of the emitted light is tuned by the band gap between the valence and conduction bands in the semiconductor polymer [16].…”

“…The charge transfer mechanism is due to the polarons. The polarons are radical cations having spin g = 1/ 2 and electronic charge = ±e [42]. These polarons are partially delocalized on polymeric chain by rearrangement of double bonds.…”

“…On the other hand, solution-processed and flexible polymers are promising for printable electronics and optoelectronics for large-area applications, [12][13][14][15][16][17] which may eventually revolutionize flexible electronic applications. Compared to traditional inorganic thermoelectric materials, organic materials can exhibit tunable electrical and thermal conductivities by convenient molecular design.…”
