Abstract:Conducting polymers has been observed as frontier area of research and prospective materials for technological applications since last decade. The polymerization mechanism, processability, and transport mechanism are the point of academic and scientific attractions. Among the conducting polymers polyaniline (PANI) possesses exceptional properties to be considerable for application in diodes, Field effect transistors, Solar cells and Gas sensors. In this work PANI was synthesized in the form of emeraldine salt by the chemical oxidation method using Ammonium peroxydisulphate as an oxidizing agent adding Benzoic acid as dopant. The synthesized PANI was subjected to the physico-chemical characterization by X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and FTIR Spectroscopic study. From the XRD pattern it was observed that interfacial polymerization offers a peak at a 2θ value of 22.9o with d spacing value 3.88Ǻ. Photo luminescence spectrum of the synthesized PANI shows an emission peak at 421 nm with band gap value 2.95 eV. FTIR absorption peaks representing the surface bonding of PANI and their vibrational modes were also observed.
