Conducting polymer-noble metal nanoparticle hybrids: Synthesis mechanism application

Green Preparation of Sulfonated Polystyrene/Polyaniline/Silver Composites with Enhanced Anticorrosive Properties

“…( Kim, Lee, In, & Park, 2014) ( Yang et al, 2015) (Han et al, 2017) (Yuan et al, 2013) However, using single PANI particles as corrosive material have a series of problems such as poor processability, easy aggregation, dissatisfactory anticorrosive properties, etc. ( Yang, Cao, & Tan, 2014) To solve the problem, many different approaches have been attempted, and a significant attempt to overcome these drawbacks is that using sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) microspheres as substrates to prepare SPS/PANI composites.…”

Recent progress on nanostructured conducting polymers and composites: synthesis, application and future aspects

“…For example, polymers can obtain good solubility and processability by introducing specific functional groups, i.e., poly (3-hexylthiophene NCP based composites exhibit outstanding performances owing to the synergistic performance derived from each component [15]. Finally, it is motivating to investigate suitable applications of NCPs and NCP-based composites by the increasing number of academic and industrial laboratories [9,16], including energy conversion and storage (batteries, supercapacitors, dielectric capacitors, solar cells, fuel cells) [6,7,14,[17][18][19][20][21][22], chemical sensors [23][24][25][26], biosensors [27][28][29], catalysis [30,31], optical devices [32], electroactive devices [33,34], biomedical devices [12,13], electromagnetic interference shielding [35], corrosion protection [16,36], antistatic agent [9], removal of heavy metal ions [37], tissue engineering [38] and other applications. NCPs and NCPbased composites can provide significant improvement of properties, including enhancing electrolyte diffusion for batteries and supercapacitors, improving dielectric performance in ferroelectric polymers-based capacitors, supporting effective exciton dissociation in solar cells, reducing response times and enhancing sensitivity of biosensors and chemical sensors and raising anti-corrosion efficiency.…”

“…Some CP/metal nanocomposites have been widely employed for both catalytic and biosensing applications [30]. For instance, Au/PANI nanocomposites have been fabricated by depositing Au nanoparticles on the surface of PANI nanofibers.…”

Halide-Enhanced Catalytic Activity of Palladium Nanoparticles Comes at the Expense of Catalyst Recovery

“…For example, we have previously shown how a thermoresponsive pNIPAM shell can be used to modulate diffusion of reactants to the catalytic surface of gold nanoparticles [31]. The use of a conductive polymer to confine Catalysts 2017, 7, 280 3 of 17 metallic nanoparticles is of interest because the individual nanoparticles are electronically connected, which can affect the electronic state of the nanoparticle surfaces [32,33]. Such metal-conducting polymer nanocomposites can be synthesised using presynthesised polymers [34], but both components of the nanocomposite can also be synthesised conveniently in one-pot under appropriate conditions [35].…”
