In this work, we developed a convenient way to immobilize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the aminated polyacrylonitrile (APAN) nanofibrous mats by combing the electrospinning technology from complex-containing polymer solution, amination of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous and electroless plating technique. The resultant composite nanaofibrous mats had been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra analysis. The catalytic activity and stability of these resultant composite nanofibrous mats for the catalytic reactions, including reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to form 4-aminophenol (4-AP) and selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol, were investigated. The resultant nanofibrous mats exhibited high-efficiency, convenient separation, recovery and cyclic utilization properties.
