Ag-PANI matrix on nanostructured ZnO: A sensor perspective

Abstract

The Ag-PANI nanocomposite material was coated on nanostructured ZnO thin film using the spray pyrolysis technique. Structural and optical characterization of the prepared ZnOIAg-PANI nanocomposite thm film was carried out using FE-SEN UV-Vis spectrophotometer, respectively. The chemical composition of the material was confked using the FTIR spectrometer. The seming behaviour of ZnOIAg-PANI nanocomposite film was studied towards the various concentrations of ethanol and Trimethylamine (TMA). Respome and recovery of pure ZnO and ZnOIAg-PANI nanocomposite thm film towards ethanol and TMA was compared. © 2012 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
