Abstract
A poly 3-methylthiophene/nano-TiO2 composite was prepared by in situ oxidative polymerization technique. We explored properties of the composite when nano-TiO2 was modified and unmodified, researched the representation of the composite with different molar ratios of 3-methylthiophene and anhydrous FeCl3, different mass ratios of 3-methylthiophene and nano-TiO2. The results show that the photoelectric property of poly-3-methylthiophene/modified nano-TiO2 composite is better than that of unmodified nano-TiO2 composite. When the molar ratio of 3-methylthiophene and anhydrous FeCl3 is 1:2, the mass ratio of 3-methylthiophene and nano-TiO2 is 2:1, the composite material has good optical properties.
