The present work includes a study on the transport mechanism in Zn doped polyaniline conductingpolymer. PANI is one of the most conducting polymer in which the transition takes place between migration of protonand polaron.The yield of PANI was higher than 90% in all cases. The doping element was ZnCl2. The synthesized sample of PANI hasbeen characterized by using FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) Spectroscopy and IR, DC electrical conductivity ismeasured for knowing the conduction mechanism. We have measured DC electrical conductivity of each sample atdifferent temperature. The plot of log σ verses 1/T is linear for all ZnCl2 doped sample. The activation energy isestimated from this plot and found to be 0.1956 eV for 0.274 vol fraction of ZnCl2 sample. The structure characterizationis studied via FTIR and found have maximum peak value 3672.47cm-1indicate the O-H type of stretching. We havemeasured DC electrical conductivity of each sample and thickness.
