Abstract

To create a (POT–CSA/ZnO) nanocomposite, a chemical oxidative polymerization of O-toluidine was carried out in the presence of nano ZnO. This step took place throughout the synthesis. In the attendance of hydro chloric acid (HCl) and ammonium persulfate (APS) as an oxidant and camphor solfunic acid (CSA) as a dopant, polymerization can be accomplished by using a monomer mixture with an equal molar ratio. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV–Vis spectroscopy were utilized in the procedure of characterizing the material. The results displayed that the polymer film revealed both excitonic transition [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] and to [Formula: see text]* transition. The semiconducting character of the composite can be confirmed by its electrical conductivity.
