Single pot synthesis of polyaniline protected silver nanoparticles by interfacial polymerization and study its application on electrochemical oxidation of hydrazine

PANI–Ag nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by interfacial polymerization processes using aniline dimer (4-aminophenyldiphenylamine, APDA) as starting material in chloroform in contact with an aqueous solution of silver nitrate at different molar ratios. Synthesized PANI–Ag nanocomposites were characterized through various instrumental techniques. The electrocatalytic behavior of the nanocomposite was tested for the electrochemical oxidation of hydrazine.
