One-Pot Synthesis of Copper Iodide-Polypyrrole Nanocomposites

A novel one-pot chemical synthesis of functional copper iodide-polypyrrole composites, CuI-PPy, has been proposed. The fabrication process allows the formation nanodimensional metal salt/polymer hybrid structures in a fully controlled time- and concentration-dependent manner. impact certain experimental conditions, viz., duration synthesis, sequence component addition concentrations intact reagents on structure, dimensionality yield end-product was evaluated detail. More specifically, amount marshite CuI within composite can be ranged from 60 to 90 wt.%, depending synthetic conditions (type concentration components, duration). In addition, allowing nano-sized distributed inside polypyrrole matrix were found. high morphological stability reproducibility synthesized metal-polymer materials approved. Finally, electrochemical activity formed composites verified by cyclic voltammetry studies. CuI-PPy deposited electrodes strongly affected applied anodic limit. proposed is highly innovative, meets requirements Green Chemistry potentially useful for future biosensor development. this study expected generally contribute knowledge nano-based with tailored properties.
