Abstract

Polyaniline (PANI) has been of great interest to many researchers because of its high electrical conductivity, environmental stability, ease of preparation, affordability and good redox properties compared to other conducting polymers. It has been reported that PANI doped with orthophosphoric acid exhibits quite high photoluminescence (PL) emission intensity. Orthophosphoric acid doped PANI exhibits good room temperature D.C electrical conductivity also. Thus orthophosphoric acid doped PANI has been found to be a suitable material for optoelectronic applications. In the present work, an attempt is made to develop highly luminescent orthophosphoric acid doped PANI by treating it with oleic acid and it is found that the PL emission intensity is significantly enhanced upon modification of PANI with oleic acid.
