Polymer (polyanilines) nanoparticles: a superior catalyst for hydrocarbon selective oxidation

Hui Huang, Yang Liu, Shuit-Tong Lee and Zhenhui Kang

Abstract

Nanosized polyaniline possesses excellent catalytic ability for selective oxidation of cyclohexene with H₂O₂ as oxidant at 60 °C.

Systematic experiments confirm that the catalytic activity of nanosized PANI is dependent on particle size and redox state, which is responsible for the catalytic decomposition of H₂O₂.
