Present work reports novel synthesis of Polyaniline (PANI)/Se nanocomposites.Se nanowires are prepared from SeO 2 under assistance vitamin C and polyaniline is synthesized through chemical oxidation.The effect composition Se on the properties was investigated five orders increase in conductivity after doping has been observed.The electrical nanocomposites show that conduction hopping process due to wide range localized states present near fermi level.FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy) ultraviolet (UV)-visible studies confirm occurrence conducting emeraldine salt form composites suggest incorporation polymer.The optical indicate absorption mechanism indirect allowed transition band gap tends decrease doping.The thermal stability ascertained basis DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetery) measurements.TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) SEM (Scanning analysis have also carried out for morphological studies.
