Abstract
Using ultrasonic-induced polymerization of pyrrole, mesoporous $TiO_2$ thin film with polypyrrole nanoparticles was prepared. Polypyrrole nanoparticles were ultrasonically synthesized in the mother solution of mesoporous $TiO_2$ before spin-coating. The polypyrrole particles were well dispersed in the solution. After spin-coating and calcinations process, the nanocomposite films have well-organized pore channels without pore-collapse, and polypyrrole nanoparticles are well dispersed in mesoporous $TiO_2$ matrix. The pore size and light absorbance of the mesoporous nanocomposite thin films were controlled by using different template materials, and by using different amount of pyrrole monomer, respectively.
