dc.description.abstractIn this work, we report the obtaining of new hybrid nanocomposites with catalytic activity formed by nanofibers of polymer blends and gold nanoparticles. The nanofibers were obtained by electrospinning blends of a poly (ionic liquid) (PIL) and its precursor polymer, poly (4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VPy). The characteristics of the nanofibers obtained proved to be dependent on the proportion of polymer in the blends. The nanofibers obtained were used to synthesize, in situ, gold nanoparticles on their surface by two-step procedure. Firstly, the adsorption of precursor ions on the nanofibers and then their reduction with sodium borohydride to generate gold nanoparticles. The results indicated a significant improvement in the performance of PIL-containing nanofibers over pure P4VPy NFs during ion adsorption, reaching a 20% increase in the amount of adsorbed ions and a 6-fold increase in the respective adsorption constant. The catalytic performance of the obtained hybrid systems in the reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol was studied. Higher catalytic conversions were obtained using the hybrid nanofibers containing PIL and gold nanoparticles achieving a maximum conversion rate of 98%. Remarkably, the highest value of kinetic constant was obtained for the nanofibers with the highest PIL content.
