In this work, nanocomposite samples of polyaniline (PANI) and lead sulfide nanoparticles (PbSNPs) were prepared, utilizing the solution preparation method, for implantation in energy storage elements. The PANI/PbS films were irradiated by different fluences of oxygen beam: 5 × 1016, 10 × 1016, and 15 × 1016 ions.cm−2. The composite was investigated by XRD, SEM, DSC, and FTIR. After ion irradiation, the Tg and Tm values decreased by 4.8 °C and 10.1 °C, respectively. The conductivities, electrical impedances, and electrical moduli of untreated and irradiated samples were examined in frequencies ranging from 102 Hz to 5 MHz. Moreover, the ion beam caused a modification in the dielectric characteristics of PANI/PbS. The dielectric constant ε′ was improved from 31 to 611, and the electrical conductivity increased from 1.45 × 10−3 S/cm to 25.9 × 10−3 S/cm by enhancing the fluence to 15 × 1016 ions.cm−2. Additionally, the potential energy barrier, Wm, decreased from 0.43 eV to 0.23 eV. The induced changes in the dielectric properties and structural characteristics of the PANI/PbS samples were determined. These modifications provide an opportunity to use irradiated PANI/PbS samples for several applications, including microelectronics, batteries, and storage of electrical energy. |
