The research results were published in《Polymers for Advanced Technologies》 in 2020.Name: 3-(4-Aminophenoxy)aniline The article conveys some information:
We report the microstructure and electrochem. performance of poly(azomethine ether) (PAME)-derived carbon nanofibers (CNFs), which were fabricated by a facile two-step process of electrospinning and carbonization, as self-standing and binder-free supercapacitor electrode materials. The SEM images showed that the average diameter decreased noticeably from ∼293.9 nm of as-spun nanofibers to ∼150.3 nm of CNFs after the carbonization at 1000°C. The EDS, XPS, Raman, and XRD analyses demonstrated that PAME-derived CNFs have a nitrogen self-doped graphitic structure. Accordingly, PAME-derived CNFs were characterized to have relatively high elec. conductivity of ∼3.1 S/cm and excellent wettability to water. The cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge tests revealed that PAME-derived CNFs have a high specific capacitance of 298 F/g at 0.3 A/g, energy d. of 3.3 to 13.9 Wh/kg, power d. of 37.5 to 250.0 W/kg, and capacity retention of ∼94% after 1000 cycles.3-(4-Aminophenoxy)aniline (cas: 2657-87-6) were involved in the experimental procedure.
3-(4-Aminophenoxy)aniline is one of ethers-buliding-blocks. Ethers feature bent C–O–C linkages. In dimethyl ether, the bond angle is 111° and C–O distances are 141 pm. The barrier to rotation about the C–O bonds is low. Name: 3-(4-Aminophenoxy)aniline The bonding of oxygen in ethers, alcohols, and water is similar. In the language of valence bond theory, the hybridization at oxygen is sp3.
