Abstract

The results of dc conductivity (σdc), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) for Li salts (LiPF6, LiBF4) doped polyaniline (PAN) are reported. Temperature (T) dependence of σdc of LiPF6 or LiBF4 doped PAN samples shows lnσdc ∝ T-1/2 arising from a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) variable range hopping (VRH) model. As molar concentration increases, the insulator-metal transition is observed in the results of σdc and the density of states obtained from EPR experiments. The doping levels of the systems are obtained from XPS nitrogen (N) 1s peak analysis. The doping process and the insulator-metal transition of Li salts doped PAN samples are compared with those of HCl doped PAN samples.
