Abstrakt: The effect of surfactant on the sensitivity of polymer-based heterojunction has been studied at room temperature. To fabricate heterojunction,polypyrrole (thickness∼3.8 µm) were deposited by galvanostatic electrodeposition on stainless steel substrate (SS). An electrochemical bath contains pyrrole monomer with surfactant like Triton-X 100 (TX-100) and having fixed concentration 0.001M. In order to make heterojunction polyaniline films has been deposited using layer by layer chemical oxidation process on the pre-deposited polypyrrole films. Layer by layer process was used to attain maximum thickness 0.72 µm of polyaniline films. Individual structural, optical, electrical, surface morphological properties was studied by X-Ray Diffraction, FTIR, UV-Visible spectroscopy, Electrical conductivity, FE-SEM, and Contact angle measurementfor Polypyrrole (with and without surfactant) and polyanilinefilms of maximum thickness. Fabricate heterojunction and named it as PANI/PPy-NS, PANI/PPy-TX. It was used to study sensing performance LPG at ambient conditions. Different concentration of LPG is passing in the chamber and measured Current (I)-Voltage (V) characteristics at room temperature. Sensitivity (%) of heterojunction sensor is studying in air and LPG environment. A response and recovery time is measured for maximum sensitive heterojunction i.e.PANI/PPy-TX. The average maximum sensitivity is about<43% for 1040 ppm concentration of LPG. 80 sec and 500sec time is for response and recovery respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
