One-Step Preparation of Polypyrrole Nanoparticles by a Reactive-Template Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polypyrrole nanoparticles (PPy NPs) were successfully prepared in one-step by a reactive-template method. Fe3O4 NPs were selected as the reactive-template, and they acted as both templates to shape structure of PPy NPs and initiator source, simultaneously. No surfactants were used in whole process, which dramatically improved the purity of resulting products. HCl solution concentrations played an important role on the morphologies of resulting PPy NPs.
