Abstract

In the present research work, pristine and ZnO nanoparticles doped polypyrrole-based samples were synthesized using a simple chemistry-based polymerization process using three different doping concentrations of ZnO. The prepared samples were characterized using various techniques. X-ray diffraction spectra of prepared samples indicate that these samples are quasi-crystals in nature. Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy of these samples contains the various required fundamental bands which confirms the synthesis of expected samples. Field emission scanning electron microscopy of synthesized samples reveals that these samples have particle-like morphology. The thermal properties of prepared samples were investigated using the thermal gravimetric analysis investigation. Moreover, the electrical properties of prepared samples were investigated in the temperature range 293 to 393 K. The conductivity of prepared samples increases with the increase in temperature which indicates the semi-conducting nature of prepared samples.
