Description
Summary:This paper investigates the electrical and optical properties of nanocomposites MEH-PPV:CNT thin film with different composition ratio of CNT. CNT was prepared using palm oil as precursor and ferrocene as catalyst in the furnace of the ATOMIZER equipment. The thin film was deposited on the glass substrate by using spin coating technique. The influence of composition ratio of CNT on the electrical properties and optical properties of conjugated polymer MEH-PPV was characterized by current-voltage measurement in dark and under illumination and UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. The current-voltage measurements are show relationship between conductivity and resistivity of thin film. The conductivity of polymer MEH-PPV is increasing as increasing composition ratio of CNT. While the UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer measurement show the optical band gap decreases when composition ratio of CNT increases
