Electrochemical and electrical response of bismuth-aniline complex under the exposure of organic and inorganic environment

In this report, a simple complexation strategy has been adopted for the fabrication of bismuth-aniline based inorganic-organic hybrid system (BAC). The microscopic, optical and surface properties of the hybrid material were derived by using different analytical techniques. The synthesized material was applied as an electrocatalyst for the oxidation of iodide ion and also exhibited as a potential catalyst for the electrochemical recognition of dopamine. The device made with BAC displayed resistive switching behaviour under the exposure of iodine vapour and followed the Schottky, ohmic, space-charge and trapped-charge limited current mechanism at different voltage regions.
