Abstrakt: In this study, the characteristic physicochemical and electrical properties of HCl-doped polyaniline (PAni) films grown via oxidative chemical polymerization of aniline on n -Si(100) are presented. Two exothermic processes were found for 0.2 M HCl solution during aniline polymerization while all others underwent one exothermic process only. All polyaniline films were of emeraldine salt form that exhibited connected rod-like to agglomerated grains and dendritic surface morphologies on top of wetting layer with increasing hydrochloric acid concentration. Rectifying behaviour of p- PAni/ n -Si(100) heterojunctions were also found indicating the formation of p-n junction between p -PAni and n -Si(100). (© 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
