Titania/Polypyrrole Hybrid Nanocomposites Built from In‐Situ Generated Organically Functionalized Nanoanatase Building Blocks

Abstract
A bifunctional capping ligand is used to obtain pyrrol‐functionalized monodispersed nanocrystalline TiO2 (anatase) particles in a single step. The pyrrole functionalities in the shell are then (electro)chemically polymerized to create a polypyrrole (PPy)/TiO2 hybrid nanocomposite film (see Figure). Further electronic modification of the conducting polymer is possible, leading to a great variety of potential applications.
