Structural, morphological and electrochemical properties of a polypyrrole nanohybrid produced by template-assisted fabrication
Source abstract
Abstract
Polypyrrole nanofibers/meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin/graphene quantum dots nanohybrid (PTG) was synthesized by a facile chemical oxidative reaction using persulfate salt of cetyltrimethylammonium cation ((CTA)2S2O8) as the oxidative template. The facile formation and interactions among different constituents were established by FT-IR, UV–Vis, XRD and XPS studies. Morphological analysis was carried out by SEM and HRTEM showing polypyrrole nanofibers (PNF) to be formed with diameters in the range of 29–57 nm and HRTEM micrographs depicted the intercalation of meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TSPP) and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with PNF. The electrical conductivity of PNF and PTG was evaluated using four-probe conductivity measurement. Electrochemical activity of PNF and PTG deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode was demonstrated using cyclic voltammetry with Fe(CN) 6 4−/3− as the redox species. PTG electrode displayed an enhanced voltammetric response vis-a-vis PNF due to the synergistic effect of PNF, TSPP and GQDs resulting in an increased electroactive area beneficial for a sensing probe. Further, the PTG electrode was checked for its capability to simultaneously detect Cd2+ and Pb2+ in aqueous solution by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV).
