Abstract :
with the rapid development in semiconductor industries and increasing demand of superior performance for devices, the ability to precisely modulate material interfaces is playing an increasingly dominant part in development of new technologies relevant to our lives. The composite materials showed improved performance of solar cells, and sensors which require high sensitivity are demanded by the surface characteristics of the materials. Therefore, controlling the structures of material surface and fabricating surfaces with composite materials are extremely important. In the present work, Nano Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin film was prepared using chemical bath deposition on glass substrate. Polyaniline (PAni) thin film was prepared using chemical oxidative method at room temperature. Using the same technique Nano ZnO-PAni thin film composite was prepared. The prepared sample was characterized using FTIR, XRD, UV-visible spectrometer and SEM. Formation of ZnO thin film was confirmed by XRD and FTIR analysis, also crystalline form of polyaniline was confirmed by UV analysis. Increased in the absorbance of Pani-ZnO composite indicate the interaction between them.
