Synthesis, characterization and properties of Se nanowires intercalated polyaniline/Se nanocomposites

Abstract

Abstract. Present work reports novel synthesis of Polyaniline (PANI)/Se nanocomposites. Se nanowires are prepared from SeO 2 under assistance of vitamin C and polyaniline is synthesized through chemical oxidation. The effect of composition of Se nanowires on the properties of polyaniline was investigated and five orders increase in conductivity after doping has been observed. The electrical properties of nanocomposites show that conduction is through hopping process due to the wide range of localized states present near fermi level. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy) and ultraviolet (UV)-visible studies confirm the occurrence of polyaniline in conducting emeraldine salt form in the composites and suggest incorporation of Se in polymer. The optical studies indicate that absorption mechanism is due to indirect allowed transition and the optical band gap tends to decrease after doping. The thermal stability of composites has been ascertained on the basis of DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetery) measurements. TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) analysis have also been carried out for morphological studies.

“…15,23,24 The bands at 1732.69 cm À1 correspond to an out-of-plane C-H bending vibration of carboxyl groups. 25,26 Interestingly, the peaks aer graing shied to a higher wave number region indicating the formation of crosslinked hydrogel. The bands at 732 cm À1 correspond to an outof-plane C-H bending vibration of para-disubstituted rings.…”

Gum ghatti based novel electrically conductive biomaterials: A study of conductivity and surface morphology

“…Conducting form of PANI is described by band at 1237 cm -1 [10,46]. The bands at 796 and 1731 cm -1 were corresponding to an out-of-plane bending vibration of C-H on para-disubstituted rings and carboxyl groups, respectively [10,47,48]. It has been reported that the band at 1110 cm -1 to be a measure of the degree of the delocalization of electrons and is also revealing of high conductivity.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Monomers and Copolyesters Containing Bispyrazole or Bisdihydroisoxazole with Studying the Effect of TiO2 Nanoparticles on their Electrical Conductivity

“…The conduction mechanism in our investigated nanocomposites results from the hopping process of charge carriers as a charge transport passes into the polymer in conducting polymer systems, a mechanism of transport is also similar to this in amorphous semiconductors (hopping carrier) (Caseri, 2000;Shumaila et al, 2013). The agent defining the conductivity is the transport movement, along with the carrier concentration.…”
