Highly stable gold nanoparticles immobilized on the surface of amine-functionalized nanocomposite microspheres possessing a magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticle core and silica (SiO2) shell (Au/SiO2-shell/Fe3O4-core) were prepared. These catalysts tested for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) 2-nitroaniline (2-NA) reduction in aqueous solution temperature range 293–323 K presence NaBH4 reducing agent. The magnetically recyclable catalyst showed high stability (∼3 months), efficient recyclability (up to 10...
Mesostructured carbon–silica nanocomposites with hexagonally ordered pore channels have been synthesized from sucrose as a sustainable carbon source via rotary evaporation induced self-assembly (REISA) method. Phosphate functionalization was performed on the resultant nanocomposite to obtain strong acid catalyst bimodal pores. The materials were thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD); Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR); N2 physisorption; field emission scanning...
Tuning the surface acidity–basicity via molecular level control of chemical composition catalyst is one thrust areas research. Herein, we first report a bifunctional molybdenum phosphate with tunable for sustainable synthesis glycerol carbonate involving and urea. The has been thoroughly characterized by using powder X‐ray diffraction, Fourier‐transform infrared, photoelectron spectroscopy, N 2 physisorption, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission temperature programmed...
