Abstract

Nanocomposites based on zirconium oxide, modified with o-Aminosulfanilic acid have been synthetized. Samples have been prepared by chemical polymerization. The resulting products were fully characterized by XPS, XRD, FTIR, SEM and UV–vis spectroscopies which have shown that nanocomposites have been carried out. Essentially, this work represents an efficacious way of setting the thermal and optical properties of the synthesized hybrid materials, prepared by adjusted the ZrO2 quantities during chemical synthesis; the interfacial interactions between poly(oASA) and ZrO2 have been confirmed by different physio-chemical analysis. The poly(oASA)@ZrO2 (3%) sample proved a good electroactivity response where achieve two oxidation peaks and three reduction peaks at 502, 849, 743, 669 and 388 mV, respectively.
