In situ Polymerization of Polyaniline/Samarium Oxide - Anatase Titanium Dioxide (PANI/SmO-TiO) Nanocomposite: Structure, Thermal and Dielectric Constant Supercapacitor Application Study.

Pure and varying weigh ratio of SmO-TiO modified polyaniline nanocomposite has been successfully synthesized using in situ polymerization of aniline solution with SmO-TiO binary oxide. The nanocomposite have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-photoelectron microscopy (XPS), Field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and LCR meter. The XRD results show synthesis anatase TiO phase with tetragonal structure and (monoclinic and cubic) mixture structure of SmO. The FE-SEM and TEM measurements appear preparing spherical nanoparticles that covered fiber morphology of polyaniline and successfully in situ polymerization process. The TGA measurements are obtain high thermal stability for polyaniline after incorporation by SmO-TiO binary oxide nanoparticles. LCR measurement is obtained that the DC conductivity, dielectric constant and dielectric loss of nanocomposite is larger than pure polyaniline and the electric properties increase with increasing the concentration of nanoparticles.
