This study presents an approach to synthesizing a nanocomposite of polythiophene and silver nanoparticles (PBT/Ag), which addresses the challenge of AgNP aggregation and its impact on the catalytic efficiency. The reaction was performed under mild conditions using an ionic liquid, specifically bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Tf2N) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (BMIm), which acted as both a solvent and a template. The nanocomposite contained uniformly dispersed spherical silver nanoparticles with an average diameter of around 10 nm in polythiophene doped with Tf2N anions. The catalytic efficiency of the composite was assessed by reducing 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol using sodium borohydride. This transformation converts environmentally harmful 4-nitrophenol into the less toxic 4-aminophenol, a crucial intermediate in pharmaceuticals, such as paracetamol. The composite displayed notable efficiency, achieving a 99.9% conversion rate within 10 min, and exhibited recyclability over multiple cycles. This study represents the first use of a polythiophene derivative and a silver nanoparticle composite as a heterogeneous catalyst, marking an advancement in catalysis and materials science. (AU) | |
