Preparation of Au nanoparticles decorated polyaniline nanotube and its catalytic oxidation to ascorbic acid

Abstract

With sulfonated electrospun polystyrene fiber as a template, uniform polyaniline(PANI) nanotubes were fabricated via polymerization of aniline followed by template removal. Au nanoparticles(Au_nano) were decorated on the PANI nanotube successfully via auto-reduction of HAuCl₄ on the PANI nanotube. The morphology of the nanotubes was characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmittance electron microscopy(TEM). By varying precursor concentration and incubation time, Au_nano-PANI with different size of Au_nano was obtained conveniently. Glassy carbon electrode modified with the Aunano decorated PANI nanotubes (Au_nano-PANI/GCE) was prepared and used seccessfully for the catalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid(AA). The results of differential pulse voltammetry indicate that there is a good linear relationship between the peak currents and the concentrations of AA in the range of 5―3000 μmol/L, with the limit of detection of 1 μmol/L(S/N>3). There is no mutual interference between AA and dopamine. The electrode has been successfully applied in the detection of AA in vitamin C tablet sample.
