Variable Frequency Conductivity of Layered Polypyrrole / V2O5 Composites
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The frequency dependent electrical properties of the intercalated polypyrrole/V2O5 system have been measured. This study continues the investigation into the charge transport mechanisms that have been identified in these layered polymer/inorganic composites. The polypyrrole/V2O5 material is prepared by in-situ oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in the intralamellar space of the V2O5 xerogel. This process produces a layered, two-dimensional structure in which the charge transport properties result from two parallel conduction paths: the polypyrrole chains and the V2O5 layers. Impedance spectroscopy data have been collected from free-standing film samples of the layered polypyrrole/V2O5. The experiments were conducted over the frequency range of 10 Hz to 0.5 GHz and a temperature range of 77 to 310 K. The polypyrrole/V2O5 impedance results are presented in various equivalent forms and compared to data collected from pristine V2O5·nH2O, and reduced Cs0.14V2O5·nH2O.
