Abstract

Polyaniline/W03 nanocomposite with high volume of W03 compared to polyaniline has been synthesized through a template-free synthetic route. Characterization of the developed nanomaterial was conducted through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). A conductometric transducer was fabricated and used to measure the resistance of polyaniline/W03 nanofiber films during interaction with different concentrations of hydrogen gas at room temperature. The concentration of aniline monomer to W03 was 1 to 8 on the solution. It was observed that the sensor has a stable baseline of 33.2 KO under synthetic air. A decrease in the sensitive film resistance of i .4 K!l was noticed during the Interaction with 1% H2 with 90% response time of 60 seconds. Due to the high operating temperature of ali metal oxides based gas sensors, this sensor offers low power consumption because of its room temperature operation.
