Abstract

Leptospira bacteria started from the urine of rats to the water reservoirs and spread out the water environment became polluted. The main cause of Leptospirosis disease is the pollution in lake and mud. This paper discusses the sensitivity of thin films to detect Leptospira bacteria in water environments. The thin films were produced by using the sol-gel method which used the metals: Ferum (Fe), Aluminum (Al), Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn) which have been doped with the polyaniline (PANI). Impedance spectroscopy electrochemistry (EIS), Current voltage (I-V) characteristic, and UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis have been used to identify their performance and criteria of the PANI-Fe0.5-(Al0.5, Ni0.5, Mn0.5) Nanocomposite Thin Film
