Rohini Dhandapani, Senthil Kumar Kandasamy

Abstract: Polyaniline nanoparticles were prepared via chemical oxidation method and Silver nanoparticles were chemically synthesized using silver nitrate as major precursor. By using these nanoparticles and PVA, PANI/Ag nanocomposite gel was prepared. The PANI and Ag nanoparticles were characterized separately by using uv-vis spectrophotometer. The prepared PANI/Ag nanocomposite gel was applied on one side of the Al substrate and on the other side of Al substrate, Copper wire was soldered. The electrical characterization of this PANI/Ag nanocomposite Schottky diode was analyzed.
