Preparation, characterization, and property of polyaniline/Prussian blue micro-composites in a low-temperature hydrothermal process
Polyaniline/Prussian blue micro-composites have been synthesized by a low-temperature hydrothermal process. Prussian blue is obtained using the single iron-source precursor K-3[Fe(CN)(6)] in acidic aqueous solution. The composite was characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The magnetic behavior of polyaniline/Prussian blue composites and the effect of the concentration of K-3[Fe(CN)(6)] on the morphology of polyaniline/Prussian blue micro-composites have been investigated.
