description | Complex composite films based on polyaniline (PANI) doped hydrochloric acid (HCl) incorporated with aluminum nitrate (Al(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>) on Au-layer were designed and synthesized as a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensing device. The physicochemical properties of (PANI-HCl)/Al(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> complex composite films were studied for various Al(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> concentrations (0, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 wt.%). The refractive index of the (PANI-HCl)/Al(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> complex composite films increased continuously as Al(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> concentrations increased. The electrical conductivity values increased from 5.10 µS/cm to 10.00 µS/cm as Al(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> concentration increased to 32 wt.%. The sensitivity of the SPR sensing device was investigated using a theoretical approach and experimental measurements. The theoretical system of SPR measurement confirmed that increasing Al(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> in (PANI-HCl)/Al(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> complex composite films enhanced the sensitivity from about 114.5 [Deg/RIU] for Au-layer to 159.0 [Deg/RIU] for Au-((PANI-HCl)/Al(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> (32 wt.%)). In addition, the signal-to-noise ratio for Au-layer was 3.95, which increased after coating by (PANI-HCl)/Al(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> (32 wt.%) complex composite layer to 8.82. Finally, we conclude that coating Au-layer by (PANI-HCl)/Al(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> complex composite films enhances the sensitivity of the SPR sensing device. |
