Abstract:Organic polymers have attracted considerable interest in designing a multifunctional electrocatalyst. However, the inferior electro-conductivity of such metal-free polymers is often regarded as a shortcoming. Herein, a nitrogen-and phosphorus-rich polymer with phosphamide functionality (PAP) in the repeating unit has been synthesized from diaminopyridine (DAP) and phenylphosphonic dichloride (PPDC) precursors. The presence of phosphamide oxygen and pyridine nitrogen in the repeating unit of PAP leads to the co… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
