| Description |
Nitrogen doped carbon, synthesized by a novel way of carbonizing polyaniline in an inert atmosphere at a constant temperature of
800∘C, exhibits several unique features.The carbon: nitrogen ratio is found to increase with the treatment duration up to 120 minutes
and a mass reduction of 60 wt% is observed with an interesting observation of the retention of the bulk polymer morphology,
surprisingly, even after the carbonization process. The electrochemical activity evaluated with potassium hexacyanoferrate and
hexamine ruthenium redox systems at a regular time interval helps to tune the catalytic activity. This type of nitrogen doped carbon
prepared from polyaniline base exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity as illustrated by the oxidation of ascorbic acid in neutral
medium
