A one-pot synthesis of a highly dispersed palladium/polypyrrole/polyacrylonitrile nanofiber membrane and its recyclable catalysis in hydrogen generation from ammonia borane

Abstract

A palladium/polypyrrole/polyacrylonitrile (Pd/PPy/PAN) composite nanofiber membrane was synthesized by a one-pot redox polymerization process between pyrrole monomers and Na2PdCl4 in the presence of electrospun PAN nanofibers.

Transition metal sulfides meet electrospinning: versatile synthesis, distinct properties and prospective applications

“…The integration of nanocatalysts with 1D electrospun nanofibers can restrict their aggregation and leaching during the catalytic process, thus producing a large catalytically active sites, which is beneficial for their applications in heterogeneous chemical catalytic reactions. [146][147][148][149] For example, CoS nanoparticles have been encapsulated into PAN nanfibers via a direct electrospinning route, which show an excellent catalytic performance toward ammonia borane hydrolysis to produce hydrogen. 59 Owing to the unique nanoparticles-in-nanofibers structure, the hybrid catalyst shows an outstanding reusability.…”

Nanoarchitectured Porous Conducting Polymers: From Controlled Synthesis to Advanced Applications

“…To cope with the problems mentioned above, numerous CPs with multidimensional structures, such as nanospheres [33,34] nanowires, [35,36] nanofibers, [37,38] nanotubes, [7,39] nanorods, [40,41] nanosheets, [42][43][44][45] nanobrushes, [46] and other complex architectures, [19,47] have been successfully synthesized using various methods. Furthermore, inspired by the construction of porous inorganic materials with unique electronic structures, longrange ordered porous frameworks, uniform mesopores with high specific surface areas, and their respective preparations have aroused intensive research interest.…”

Facile Preparation of Novel Manganese Dioxide Modified Nanofiber and Its Uranium Adsorption Performance

“…For example, Zhu et al [15] Electrospinning is one of the most compatible techniques to produce continuous nanofibers of inorganic, organic, metals and composites [17]. The as-produced nanofibers often with large specific surface area and abundant porosity are promising in the fields of catalysis [18], batteries [19], medicine [20] and separation [21] [22]. To separate metal ions many electrospinning nanofi-…”
