Enhanced thermal stability of polystyrene by graphitic carbon nitride/spinel ZnCo2O4 nanohybrids and the catalytic mechanism investigation†
Abstract
Spinel ZnCo2O4 has shown great superiorities in the fields of catalyst and energy. However, its applications in improving thermal stability of polymeric materials are rarely reported. In this work, polystyrene/graphite-like carbon nitride/ZnCo2O4 composites were prepared, and the mechanism for their improved thermal stability was discussed in the sight of catalysis.
