Abstract


Polypyrrole was synthesized using ferric chloride (FeCl3) as oxidant, the ratio of monomer and oxidant was 1:2.4. The polymerization was carried out at 5ºC.  Molybdenum oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using citric acid as capping agents by sol-gel method. Ppy- MoO3 nanocomposites was prepared by mixing of molybdenum oxide nanoparticles and Ppy, and were characterized by using FT-IR, XRD, SEM-EDS and TEM analysis techniques.
