Self-assembled Films of Poly(4-diazosulfonate Styrene-co-4-vinylpyridine) with Polyaniline and Their Photoelectric Conversion Properties

Abstract Poly(4-diazosulfonate styrene-co-4-vinylpyridine) (P(DSS-co-VP)) can self-assemble (SA) with polyaniline via H-bond interaction. The SA film was then photo-crosslinked under UV irradiation to form a covalent crosslinking structure. The photocurrent of the crosslinked SA films was determined directly in aqueous salt solution. The results showed that the polyaniline SA films were materials with good photoelectron conversion properties.
