Abstract Polyaniline doped with p-toluenesulfonic acid
was synthesized using in situ chemical oxidation methodfor optimization of synthesis parameters. For p-toluene-
sulfonic acid/aniline molar ratio of 5, the obtained polymer
exhibits highest value of the electrical conductivity. The
electrical conductivity of polyaniline doped with p-tolu-
enesulfonic acid was measured in the temperature range of
30300 K. The conductivity of polyaniline was found to
increase with rise in the temperature. The measured con-
ductivity versus temperature data was fitted with Arrhenius
model, variable range hopping (VRH) model and Kivelson
model in order to investigate the charge transfer mecha-
nism in polyaniline. It is shown that conductivity observed
over wide temperature range of 30300 K follows Kivel-
son model obeying power law behavior.
1 Introduction
Polymers have been traditionally considered as insulators.
Since the discovery of conductivity in polyacetylene by
Shirakawa, Heeger and MacDiarmid, a huge attention has
been devoted to synthesize new intrinsically conducting
polymers and to enhance their properties for various
applications. Conducting polymers have a variety of
applications in display devices, corrosion protective coat-
ings, rechargeable batteries and sensors, etc. [15]. During
the past two decades, a variety of electrically conducting
polymers have been studied due to their exclusive
properties.Among all conducting polymers, polyaniline (PANI) has
attracted great attention because of its electronic, electro-
chemical, optical properties and good environmental and
thermal stability [69]. The advantage of the conducting
polymers is that their synthesis and chemical modification
offer unlimited possibilities unlike inorganic metals and
semiconductors. The conducting polymers exhibits very
low charge carrier mobilities. The invention of dopability
of conjugated polymers has stimulated widespread interest
in the study of charge transport among investigators. The
intrinsically insulating conjugated polymers can be doped
to produce near metallic conductivities. It has been possi-
ble to reduce the structural disorder in doped conducting
polymers by choosing optimum parameters during syn-
thesis. It is worthwhile to mention that reduced structural
disorder helps in increasing the electrical conductivity of
the polymers [10]. A good number of studies on conduc-
tivity of PANI with the goal to improve the understanding
of the electronic transport have been performed during the
last decade [1115]. It is the disorder-induced localization
that acts as a main factor to determine the transport prop-
erties of conducting polymers. Properties such as degree of
environmental stability, solubility and dopability have
made doped PANI the most suitable material for studies of
electron transport phenomenon in conducting polymers
[1619]. In this work, emphasis has been given on making
an extensive study on the transport properties in polyani-
line at low temperature.
Investigating new preparation methods and optimizing
the synthesis parameters/conditions to obtain polymer is an
important issue in conducting polymers, because it may
lead to improve their properties. In the present work, we
report the chemical polymerization of aniline doped with

p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) and its characterization by
spectroscopic and conductivity studies.
2 Experimental
2.1 Materials
Aniline (monomer, ANI), Ammoniumperoxydisulfate (APS),
p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA), N,N-Dimethylformamide
(DMF), and 1-Methy-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) of analytical
grade were used as received from Alfa Aesar.
2.2 Synthesis
PANI was synthesized by oxidative polymerization of
monomer aniline in acidic medium by using APS. All the
solutions were prepared in de-ionized water having resis-
tivity of*18 MX. In a typical procedure, the monomer
aniline (0.005 mol) was dissolved in DMF (3 ml) andcooled down to 05C. It was then slowly added to 50 ml
aqueous solution of PTSA (0.025 mol). The polymerization
was initiated by the drop wise addition of the oxidant
solution containing 0.005 mol of APS dissolved in 50 ml of
water pre-cooled at 05C (ice temperature). The poly-
merization was allowed to proceed in open ambient for 5 h
with continuous stirring. Dark green colored precipitate of
the polymer thus obtained was separated by filtration,
washed with de-ionized water and finally dried in an oven at
45C for about 36 h to remove moisture/water. Un-doped
PANI was obtained by treating the powder with aqueous
ammonia solution for 5 h. Dry powder of polymer was
compressed in the form of pellets of*10 mm diameter
using a steel die in a hydraulic press.
2.3 Measurements
The absorption spectra of the polymer in NMP were
recorded by using UVVisible spectrophotometer in the
wavelength range of 300900 nm. FT-IR spectra of the
polymers in form of pellet were taken on a spectropho-
tometer model PerkinElmer Spectrum 2000 in the wave
number range 5004,000 cm-1.
Electrical conductivity measurements were performed
by standard four-probe technique. A Keithley source meter
(model 2400) and a Keithley electrometer (model 6514)
were used as constant current source and volt meter,
respectively, in four probe setup.
The conductivity (r) was calculated from the measured
current and voltage data using the relation [20].

3 Results and discussion
The electrical conductivity of conjugated polymers mainly
depends upon the dopant. Synthesis of the polymer was
carried out at different dopant concentrations. Figure 1
shows the variation of electrical conductivity with the
dopant to monomer molar ratio used in the synthesis of
polyaniline. It is clear from the Fig. 1 that the conductivity
increases with increase in the dopant to monomer ratio and
attains maximum value for the ratio of 5. This increase in
the conductivity is attributed to the protonation of the
polymer. Beyond dopant to monomer ratio of 5, the elec-
trical conductivity slightly decreased. Another factor which
affects the electrical conductivity of the polymer is the
oxidizing agent. The conductivity as a function of oxidantto monomer molar ratio is shown in Fig. 2. As evident
from Fig. 2, the electrical conductivity of the polyaniline
was found to increase initially at low oxidant to monomer
ratio and then decreased after attaining maximum value at
an optimum molar ratio of 1.
Thus, for oxidant to monomer molar ratio of unity, the
resulting polyaniline exhibits maximum conductivity. The
higher concentration of the oxidant in the polymer solution
may cause shorter conjugation length, which leads to a
decrease in the electrical conductivity [21]. The oxidant
may also affect the yield of the polymer obtained after
synthesis. The variation in the yield of the polyaniline as afunction of oxidant to monomer ratio is shown in Fig. 2.
The yield of the polymer increases with increase in the
oxidant to monomer ratio.

exhibits absorption bands with kmax at 330 nm and 630 nm
approximately. The broad absorption at 630 nm for
polyaniline has been assigned to quinoid formation in
the backbone of the polymer [22]. The band around
285350 nm is assigned to the pp* electronic transition of
the benzene rings in the polymer backbone. Characteristic
absorbance maxima in the doped polymer are observed at
425 nm and 822 nm in the spectra of PANI [23]. They are
due to the polaron band transitions in the doped
polyaniline.
Figure 4 shows the FT-IR spectrum of polyaniline
doped with p-toluenesulfonic acid. In the spectrum, the
peaks at 1,467, 1,548 cm-1 indicate that the aromatic ring
is retained in the polymer. The band at 1,467 cm-1 cor-
responds to the stretching of benzene rings and the peak at
1,548 cm-1 corresponds to the stretching frequency ofquinone ring. The presence of these two bands clearly
shows that the polymer is composed of the amine and
imine units [24, 25]. It also exhibits distinct peak at
2,924 cm-1, which is assigned to the aromatic CH
stretching. The peak at 1,294 cm-1 corresponds to the CH
in-plane deformation [26]. Also the peak at 1,116 cm-1
corresponds to the sulfonic acid group. The presence of
vibration band of the dopant ion and other characteristic
bands confirm that the polymer is in the conducting
emeraldine salt phase. The bands at about 561 cm-1 are
assigned to the out-of-plane CH bending motions of the
aromatic rings. The peak at 790 cm-1 is characteristic ofpara-substituted aromatic rings, which indicates the for-
mation of polymer [27].
Measurements of the d.c. conductivity of PTSA doped
polyaniline in the pellet form have been carried out in the
temperature range 30300 K. Figure 5 shows the variation
in electrical conductivity with temperature. It is evident
from the Fig. 5 that the conductivity increases with
increase in the temperature.
The observed d.c. conductivity data shown in Fig. 5 has
been interpreted in the light of different models so as to
find the probable mechanism of current transport in these
polymers. Arrhenius model was used to fit the experimental
data. Figure 6 depicts plots of dc conductivity as a function
of reciprocal of the temperature for polyaniline. The data
fits linearly for T C170 K and shows deviation from the
linear behaviour below this temperature. Thus, the Arrhe-
nius model can explain temperature dependence of

conductivity only in the high temperature range i.e., above
170 K.
It is worthwhile to mention that Motts variable rangehopping (VRH) model has been extensively applied to
various amorphous inorganic semiconductors over the last
two decades and recently has also been applied to organic
conductors/semiconductors. According to VRH, the tem-
perature dependence of dc conductivity follows the for-
mula [2830]:
r T r0 exp T0
T
c2
where the parameter r0 can be considered as the limiting
value of conductivity at infinite temperature, T0 is the Mott
characteristic temperature and the exponent c is related tothe dimensionality d of the transport process via the
equation c = 1/(1 ? d), where d= 1, 2 and 3 for one
dimensional, two dimensional and three dimensional con-
duction process, respectively. It is evident from the Fig. 7,
that Motts three dimensional VRH model fits to
experimental data in the temperature range 90300 K.
Below 90 K, the data deviates from VRH model and thus
indicates that this model is applicable only at temperature
above 90 K. Below temperature 90 K, the VRH can not
account for current transport process.
In order to explain the current transport in the entire
temperature range, the experimental data was fitted to
Kivelson model which is also known as power law behavior[28]. According to the power law behavior, the conductivity
as a function of temperature is expressed as [28, 31]:
r T ATn 3
where A is some constant and n is the exponent.
According to this law, ln(r) versus ln(T) plot must be a
straight line with a slope of n. Figure 8a shows the con-
ductivity versus temperature plot on logarithmic scale for
polyaniline to check the power law behavior. The ln(r)
verses ln(T) plot indicates that the power law behaviour fits
closely to entire experimental data in the range 30300 K
for all these samples of polyaniline with various dopant tomonomer ratios. The data fits well in a straight line over
entire temperature range with the square of coefficient of
correlation R2 = 0.999 very close to unity. The experi-
mental data was also fitted on linear scale with power law
Eq. (3). The typical plot of conductivity for dopant to

monomer ratio of one is shown in Fig. 8b. This figure also
shows that data follows Eq. (3) very closely with R2 value
of 0.999. The values of exponent n obtained for three
samples in our study are 3.17, 2.89 and 2.60 for dopant to
monomer ratio of 1, 2 and 3, respectively. It is clear from
Eq. (3) that exponent indicates the rate of increase of
conductivity with temperature. These values of n are
found to increase with increase in the dopant to monomerratio. It indicates that rate of increase of conductivity with
temperature decreases with increasing dopant concentra-
tion. It means that for higher dopant concentration, increase
in temperature produces hindrance to polarons and thus
rate of rise in conductivity decreases.
It is clear from above analysis that the Arrhenius model
of current transport is valid only in the higher temperature
range e.g., above*170 K for these polymers. This obser-
vation is consistent with the results reported in the literature
for PANI [32, 33], where conductivity at higher temperature
is attributed to the Arrhenius mechanism. In the temperature
range below room temperature to about 90 K, the MottsVRH model can explain the temperature dependence of
conductivity. The similar observations are reported in the
literature in which the VRH model is invoked to fit the
measured conductivity data in the temperature range from
300 K to down up to 77 K [34, 35]. At temperature below
77 K, very few reports exist in the literature [32, 36], where
Kivelson model representing the power law behavior is
invoked to fit the observed conductivity.
Our measurements over wide temperature range of
30300 K thus enable us to explore current transport
mechanism in these polymers. It is evident from the above
analysis that in the higher temperature range, the Arrheniusmodel can best explain the current transport in these poly-
mers. In addition to this, other two models namely VRH and
Kivelson behavior can also be attributed in this temperature
range. However, below about 170 K, both VRH and power
law behavior can be used to represent observed conductivity
variation with temperature. However, the VRH model
remains operative down up to temperature 90 K. Below
90 K, neither Arrhenius nor VRH model can explain the
observed conductivity variation with temperature but power
law behavior fits well with the data over entire temperature
range. Thus it can be concluded from this study that power
law behavior describes the electrical conduction over wide
temperature range, whereas Motts VRH model and
Arrhenius model can describe it only in the mid and higher
temperature ranges, respectively.
The thermal stability of the electrical conductivity of the
PTSA doped polyaniline was investigated at several tem-
peratures as shown in Fig. 9. It is observed that conduc-
tivity slightly decreases for samples studied at higher
temperature except for the room temperature 25C. A
slight noticeable decrease in conductivity was observed at
100C. It is reported in the literature that water/moisture
plays an important role in enhancing the conductivity of
polymers [37]. So, on heating the material, the removal of
water takes place, which leads to a slight decrease in theelectrical conductivity.
4 Conclusions
Polyaniline doped with p-toluenesulfonic acid was syn-
thesized by chemical polymerization method using am-
moniumpersulfate as an oxidizing agent. An in-depth study
has been made on the electron transport properties of PTSA
doped polyaniline in the temperature range of 30300 K.
The conductivity of samples shows an increasing trend
with temperature and the variation is noticeably higher at
higher temperature. It was observed that power law
behavior describes the electrical conduction over wide
temperature range, whereas Motts VRH model and
Arrhenius model can be attributed to describe it only in the
mid and higher temperature range, respectively.
