Stable electronic configuration between the interface of an n-type oxide semiconductor core and a p-type polymer shell is necessary in order to guarantee consistent functioning core-shell structure. This research aims use silane-aniline link Titanium (IV) (TiO 2 ) polyaniline emeraldine salt (PANI-ES) shell. Core-shell structure was created by functionalizing TiO powders with silane aniline molecules using simple soaking technique then polymerizing attached oxidative technique. Infrared spectroscopy reveals presence Si-O bonds signifying linkage inorganic polymeric Polymerization may have led coupling aromatic rings form long structures which caused widening shifting rings’ IR peak lower wavenumber. In conclusion, successfully utilized connect PANI-ES
