Synthesis, Characterisation and Capacitive Behaviour of Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-Copper Oxide Nanocomposites

Abstract:

Nano particles of Copper oxide and Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-Copper oxide nanocomposite were prepared by chemical oxidation method. The formed metal oxide nanoparticle and polymer metal oxide nanocomposites were characterized by UV–VIS, XRD, SEM and EIS studies. The UV-VIS studies of nanoparticles and nanocomposites exhibited four peaks, two peaks are sharp and centered at 280nm and 360 nm while the other two were broaden waves obtained at 780nm and 985nm. SEM image of copper oxide nanoparticles and nanocomposite exhibits sponge-like morphologies, in addition to nanospheres, nanowires, and nanotube shapes. The grain size of the metal oxide nanoparticle and polymer metaloxide nanocomposites was calculated using Scherrer’s formula. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies revealed the high conductivity nature due to the increased surface area of the nanocomposites.
