    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.

    and undoped form is shown in Fig. 3. Un-doped PANI

    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.
