DC conductivity studies of iron decorated polypyrrole

Abstract

Fe-Ppy was synthesized by in situ polymerization with varying the concentration of oxidizing agent (FeCl,3) and green tea extract. As prepared polymer samples have been characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM and TEM. DC conductivity was measured in the temperature range 303-378 K. Obtained results reveals that, the conductivity slightly increases with increase in temperature. Fe (0.31M)-Ppy-10ml green tea extracted sample exhibited highest conductivity as compared to the other composites. Activation energy found to increases up to Fe-(0.92M)-Ppy 30ml sample and it was maximum for Fe (1.54M)-Ppy 50ml sample.

Mott’s Variable Range Hopping Model for Polypyrrole-Papain Composite Polymer: Influence of Papain Enzyme on Composite Polymer

“…Iron decorated ppy by using FeCl3 as an oxidizing agent resulted in activation energy in the range of 9.3 × 10 -3 eV to 57.005 × 10 -3 eV [3]. The data obtained by four-probe measurements for hemoglobin-doped ppy revealed linear behavior as expected for a semiconductor [15].…”

Effect of Platinum Oxide in Enhancing EMI Shielding Effectiveness of Silver Doped Polyaniline-Platinum Oxide Composites

“…PANI has become a crucial component of conducting polymers due to its decent environmental stability, ease of chemical doping, and flexibility in synthesis via oxidative polymerization of aniline [5]. To enhance its mechanical, physical, and electrical properties, including conductivity, magnetic and optical properties, PANI is often combined with metal particles [6]. With numerous research efforts focused on incorporating additional metal components, noble metal particles have become increasingly important in the field of electrochemical applications [7][8][9][10][11].…”
