Synthesis of Au nanoparticle-conductive polyaniline composite using H2O2 as oxidising as well as reducing agent.
We report a new method of synthesis of an Au nanoparticle-conductive polyaniline composite by using H2O2 both for reduction of HAuCl4 and polymerization of aniline in the same aqueous medium: the electrical conductivity of the composite has been measured to be two orders of magnitude higher than the polymer itself.
