Abstract

In the present study, Polystyrene/Polycarbazole/Titanium Tetra-Isopropoxide (PS/PCZ/TTIP) composite nanofibres were successfully fabricated using the electrospinning technique. The morphological features and material properties of the synthesized fibres were systematically characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive Xray analysis (EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV–Visible absorption spectroscopy.. Polystyrene, a synthetic polymer available in both solid and foamed forms, present avenue for material innovation. Characterized by its transparency, rigidity, and ease of processing, PS offers unique properties for various applications. PCZ holds great promise as organic semiconductors for a multitude of vital applications, owing to their customizable physical and chemical properties, mechanical flexibility, lightweight nature, reversible doping capabilities, excellent biocompatibility, and ability to be produced on a large scale. Titanium tetra isopropoxide (TTIP) is a precursor, with exceptional performance characteristics. The research work is carried out to study the effect of these hybrid polymers using morphological and optical properties. Further the IV analysis, Electrochemical Impedance (EIS), Photoelectrochemical analysis and Mott-Schottky plot analysis were carried out for nanofibers in the range of nm diameter for gas sensing, insulating applications.
