Polyaniline/(Au-Pd) composite

Анотація

Composites based on polyaniline (PAn) occupy a prominent place in both electronics and catalysis. Quite good conductivity and stability, redox properties and fast response to changes in the pH of the environment make PAn an extremely popular component of many PAn/Me composites. Among researchers, composites of PAn with noble metals such as gold (Au) and palladium (Pd) are particularly popular. Metal nanoparticles can be easily incorporated into the polyaniline matrix using a one-step redox mechanism due to the appropriate oxidation potential of the metals for monomer polymerization.
