The morphological and phisochemical structure of nanohybrid was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy. Interestingly, the morphology of CuO nano-sheets was changed into nanoparticles after intercalation into the polymer matrix. From application point of view, chemical sensing performance of PPC and nanohybrid was investigated by simple I-V technique using nitrophenol as an organic pollutant. By applying to nitrophenol sensing, both PPC and nanohybrid performed as best nitrophenol chemi-sensor in terms of sensitivity. Nanohybrid showed 11.25 times higher sensitivity (4.50 mu A.cm(-2).mM(-1)) than pure PCC (0.40 mu A.cm(-2).mM(-1)). Therefore, nanohybridization is an efficient route to improve sensing performance of PPC  ISSN : 1452-3981  Journal Name : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ELECTROCHEMICAL SCIENCE  Volume : 7  Issue Number : 11  Publishing Year : 1433 AH 2012 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Wednesday, July 12, 2017  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email S Khan Khan, s Researcher     M Rahman Rahman, M Researcher     K Akhtar Akhtar, K Researcher     A Asiri Asiri, A Researcher     K Amary Amary, K Researcher     J Seo Seo, J Researcher     H Han Han, H Researcher     Files File Name Type Description  42078.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
