Electrical conductivity based ammonia, methanol and acetone vapour sensing studies on newly synthesized polythiophene/molybdenum oxide nanocomposite

Polythiophene (PTh) and polythiophene/molybdenum oxide nanocomposites (PTh/MoO3) were synthesized by an in-situ chemical oxidative method. The successful synthesis of both the materials was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
