TLDR
In this article, the temperature dependence of resistivity for both PANI and PANI-MC has been analyzed by three-dimensional variable range hopping (VRH) type of conduction.
Abstract
Electrical resistance and magnetoresistance of the HCl doped polyaniline (PANI) in aqueous ethanol medium and polyaniline–methyl cellulose dispersion (PANI–MC) has been investigated at low temperature down to 1.8 K and in magnetic field up to 8 T. The weaker temperature dependence of resistivity characterized by the resistivity ratio ρr=ρ(1.8 K)/ρ(300 K) indicates that a better homogeneity and less disorder can be obtained by protonation with HCl in ethanol media. The temperature dependence of resistivity for both PANI and PANI–MC has been analyzed by three-dimensional variable range hopping (VRH) type of conduction. The samples with the resistivity ratio lying in the range of 102⩽ρr⩽103 exhibit a crossover from Mott to Efros–Shklovskii VRH conduction below 10 K. A large positive magnetoresistance at low temperature has been obtained.
