Abstract
Polymer nanocomposite films combining of polyaniline (PANI) and lead sulfide (PbSNPs) were effectively synthesized using a casting solution approach for used in optical energy applications. Transmission microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) methods demonstrate that PbSNPs is successfully introduced into the PANI matrix. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images reveal that the PbS is homogenously loaded and distributed in PANI chain. Using UV-Vis optical absorbance, the optical parameters of PANI/PbSNPs were evaluated, including absorption edge (Ed), band gap (Eg), carbon cluster number (N) and Urbach energies (Eu). PbSNPs has been investigated for their impact on PANI polymer linear optical (LO) as well as nonlinear optical (NLO) characteristics including refractive index, nonlinear susceptibility, and dielectric parameter’s. When comparing the PANI/PbSNPs film to the pure PANI film, the band gap of the PANI/PbSNPs samples was found to be significantly reduced. However, the addition of PbSNPs increased the predicted amount of optical conductivity and carbon cluster number. The addition of PbSNPs to the PANI polymer improved its optical characteristics, resulting in a synthetic composite that can be used in energy applications as well as optoelectronics devices.

期刊介绍:
The material innovations on surfaces, combined with understanding and manipulation of physics and chemistry of functional surfaces and coatings, have exploded in the past decade at an incredibly rapid pace.
Superhydrophobicity, superhydrophlicity, self-cleaning, self-healing, anti-fouling, anti-bacterial, etc., have become important fundamental topics of surface science research community driven by curiosity of physics, chemistry, and biology of interaction phenomenon at surfaces and their enormous potential in practical applications. Materials having controlled-functionality surfaces and coatings are important to the manufacturing of new products for environmental control, liquid manipulation, nanotechnological advances, biomedical engineering, pharmacy, biotechnology, and many others, and are part of the most promising technological innovations of the twenty-first century.
