 Polypyrrole (PPy) nanofibers were synthesized using a hydrothermal technique and combined with graphene oxide (GO) and metal oxides like MnO?, CoO, and V?O? at varying ratios (20%, 40%, 60%). Spectroscopic analyses revealed increased optical absorption in the 310-350 nm range and a decrease in the optical bandgap with higher oxide concentrations. FE-SEM showed interconnected nanofiber structures. A maximum specific capacitance of 116.704 F/g was achieved for the 60% (GO-MnO?) composite in supercapacitor applications. Photonic measurements demonstrated that the 40% (GO-MnO?) composite exhibits a rapid response to light, underscoring its effective charge transfer capabilities, making it a promising candidate for photodetector applications.
