Characterization and Performance Analysis of Polythiophene Doped with Transition Metal Oxides for Advanced Functional Applications

Abstract

 This research examines both the characterization and functional behavior evaluation of polythiophene (PT) after doping it with different transition metal oxide (TMO) materials. The well-known conducting polymer polythiophene shows great potential for use across a wide array of applications including organic electronics sensors and energy storage devices. PT gains improved electrical properties and stability components when researchers introduce transition metal oxides including TiO2, CuO and ZnO into its structure. When TMOs are integrated into a PT network the composite substance achieves enhanced electrical properties while gaining enhanced resilience to mechanical stress. The examination of performance involves electrical conductivity analysis and capacitance measurements and charge-discharge efficiency assessments to determine these materials' suitability for energy storage and sensor applications. The experimental findings show how various metal oxides affect the electrical behavior and electrochemical features of PT devices during which researchers discovered ideal doping levels. Research findings demonstrate the potential for PT-TMO composites to act as advanced materials for electronic and energy devices of the future while expanding technological use in sustainable operations.
