研究目的
Investigating the conductivity and structural properties of polyaniline magnetite (PANI/Fe3O4) nanocomposites prepared by sol-gel method.
研究成果
PANI/Fe3O4 nanocomposites with suitable electrical conductivity were successfully synthesized using chemical oxidative polymerization in the presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticles via sol-gel method. The composites demonstrated potential for use as conductive matrices in nanofiber development for sensing applications. The study underscores the importance of Fe3O4 nanoparticle concentration in determining the conductivity and structural properties of the nanocomposites.
研究不足
The study notes that the conductivity of PANI/Fe3O4 nanocomposites decreases with increasing Fe3O4 nanoparticle concentration, attributed to the insulating behavior of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The method's effectiveness in preventing secondary growth during polymerization is highlighted, but the exact mechanisms may require further investigation.
