Title Catalytically active nanocomposites based on palladium and platinum nanoparticles in poly(2-vinylpyridine) brushes
Date 01.10.2013
Number 39403
Abstract Novel catalytically active nanocomposite surfaces are fabricated by in situ synthesis of palladium or platinum nanoparticles inside poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP) brushes, used as a nano-reactor. Focusing on the revelation of the interaction of the metal species with P2VP, the immobilization is investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform IR (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron micro­scopy (TEM). Homogeneous distribution of nanoparticles is achieved. The mechanism of nanoparticle formation is investigated by study­ing the influence of particular reaction parameters and the catalytic activity of the nanocomposites is confirmed using a model reaction.
