Abstract:Polyimide (PI) nanoparticles are known as precursors of non-precious metal cathode catalysts, which are expected to be the alternatives for platinum-based catalysts for the globalization of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Our research group previously reported the synthesis of PI nanoparticles with diameters of approximately 60 nm by the precipitation polymerization of pyromellitic dianhydride and 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene. This study focuses on the synthesis of PI nanoparticles with even smaller size b… 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.
