Abstract

A series of polyaniline (PANI)/zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-particle (diameter 70 nm) composite films were prepared by electrochemical polymerization in the presence of ZnO nanoparticle. Furthermore, PANI-ZnO/PVA (PVA = polyvinyl alcohol) double-layer system was prepared. We first report preparations of a photocatalyst/conducting polymer light absorber by using ZnO nano-particles.
