Abstract

Mixed aniline–melamine–formaldehyde polymer was synthesized by parallel polycondensation of the monomers with formaldehyde. Copper(II) chloride and copper oxides (CuO, Cu2O) were introduced in situ the process. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the presence of crystalline CuO phases at introducing CuCl2 into the polymer and the appearance of copper particles in all the synthesized composites after using them as catalysts in electrohydrogenation of o-nitroaniline, which is caused by electrochemical reduction of copper cations from copper oxides. The use of the synthesized composites for the cathode activation in electrohydrogenation of o-nitroaniline increases the process rate by a factor of 1.5–2.5 compared to electrochemical reduction, and with 100% conversion to o-phenylenediamine.
