Abstract

Conducting polymers such as polyaniline (PANI), polycarbazole (PC) and polythiophene (PT) have gained attraction among researchers owing to their outstanding electrical and optical properties. In present study, polyaniline (PANI), polycarbazole (PC) and polythiophene (PT) were prepared by oxidative chemical polymerization followed by their characterization using techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Raman spectroscopy. The synthesized polymers were further coated with indium tin oxide (ITO) using three different methods viz. spin coating, dip coating and drop casting. The thickness of the films was measured using a Stylus Profilometer and found to be 400 nm for PC and 500 nm for PANI and PT. Therefore, it can be concluded that using suitable process parameters, thin films can be easily obtained from conducting polymers, thus opening new avenues in their application towards sensors, supercapacitors and optoelectronic devices.
