Beyond templates: exploring uncharted territory in anisotropic gold nanostructure-oligomer composites synthesis and electrocatalytic performance towards environmental pollutants.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of polymer/oligomer-stabilized metal nanostructures (MNS) opens up a wide range of possibilities, from fundamental materials science to practical applications in domains such as medicine, catalysis, sensing, and energy. Because of the versatility of this synthetic approach, it is a dynamic and ever-changing field of study. These polymers/oligomers have precise control over the nucleation and growth kinetics, allowing the production of mono-disperse MNS with well-defined properties. The protective coating provided by polymers or oligomers increased the stability and colloidal dispersity of MNS in these oligomer-MNS composites. As a result, the current research reports the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene (NB) utilizing oligomeric aminomercaptotriazole (oligo AMTa) an
