Abstract

Metal nanoparticles and nanoparticles of metal oxides have been widely used in many areas of chemistry, such as electroanalysis, catalysis, biosensors, controlled drug release, decomposition of organic pollutants, among others. Conducting polymers, also called "synthetic metals", have in their structure inherent characteristics, which make their optical and electronic properties being different from those of other polymers, such as conjugated double bonds in its carbon chain. The delocalization of the pi bonds and the introduction of charges causes the polymer to be conductive and gives it properties such as low band gap semiconductor and electronic transitions of low energy. The oxidation or reduction of these polymers can greatly affect its properties by introducing electric charges in the polymer backbone, the process is known as doping of the polymer. The interaction of polymers with inorganic nanoparticles can confer new optical, electronic and catalytic properties for the nanoparticles. The objective of the project is the synthesis and characterization of hybrid core-shell nanoparticles with cores of noble metals (Au, Pt, Ag) or oxides (NiO, magnetite) with electronic conductive polymers to combine their optical and electrocatalytic properties for the use of nanoparticles in electrochemical devices such as electrochemical sensors, electrochromic and biomedical devices.
