Electrical properties of CdS/polyaniline heterojunction

Conducting polyaniline (PANI) has been synthesized using Sol-gel technique with chemical oxidation process. Chemically prepared cadmium sulphide has been printed on pellet of conducting polyaniline using screen-printing technique. I-V characteristics of conducting polyaniline and CdS printed conducting polyaniline have been recorded at room temperature using Keithley Electrometer. The results indicated that I-V of conducting polyaniline shows non-ohmic behaviour and I-V characteristic of CdS printed PANI, a CdS/ PANI heterojunction, shows the rectification effect and confirms that a diode can be fabricated by using simple technique.
