Enhanced AC conductivity and dielectric properties of ultrathin β-silver vanadium oxide/aniline nanowires

Abstract Ultrathin β-silver vanadium oxide nanowires synthesized by electrochemical polymerization of aniline were studied for their alternating current conductivity and dielectric properties. The structural morphology and the size of the hybrid nanowires before and after the adsorption of aniline were analyzed by using X-ray diffractometer, and an inductor–capacitor–resistance (LCR) measurement system. Moreover, electrical characterization was carried out to study the dielectric parameters as a function of frequency between 100 Hz and 5 MHz at room temperature.
