Abstract

Polyaniline-CNT-CdS nanocomposite has been synthesized by the chemical oxidative polymerization reaction. The particle size of nanocomposites lies in between 2.5 to 4.9 nm. The dc electrical transport property of Polyaniline-CNT-CdS nanocomposites has been investigated within a temperature range 77?T?300K. The dc conductivity follows 3D variable range hopping (VRH) model. I-V characteristics of the nanocomposite shows a non linear behaviour.
