Significance

A new approach for the facile fabrication of magnetic polypyrrole nanotubes and subsequent controlled deposition of Pd nanocatalysts on the nanotube surface was developed. Thus, magnetically functionalized nanotubes (MCPPy Nt) were prepared from anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) by FeCl3 adsorption, vapor-deposition polymerization (VDP) of pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (150 °C, 10-2 Torr), and NaOH etching (0.1 M; r.t., 3 h). Pd nanocatalyst supported on MCPPy Nt (Pd/MCPPy Nt) was prepared by addition of PdCl2 to MCPPy Nt and reduction with H2 gas. TEM images of Pd/MCPPy Nt are available in the original paper.
