摘要
In the present work polyaniline (PAni) nanofibers have been synthesized by interfacial polymerization technique. Pellets are made from PAni nanofibers and characterized by XRD, TEM, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Photoluminescence spectroscopy and Four-probe conductivity measurements. XRD results show the increase in the degree of crystallinity with the increase of concentration of dopant acid. It also shows peak broadening, which indicates reduction of fiber diameter with increasing dopant concentration. TEM micrograph confirms the formation of PAni nanofibers of diameter around 20-30 nanometer. The UV-Visible spectra show three prominent peaks at 320nm, 430nm and 800nm, which confirm the formation of a single broad polaronic band in the band-gap of the PAni nanofibers. Four-probe measurements show that the electrical conductivity of PAni nanofibers increases with doping. PL spectra show a broad peak in violet region (λ = 405nm) and indicate a decrease of fiber diameter with the increase in HCl concentration. © 2009 Optical Society of India.
