Over the past decade, nanosized metal oxides, metals, and bimetallic particles have been actively researched as enzyme mimetic nanomaterials. However, common issues with individual nanoparticles (NPs) are stabilization, reproducibility, blocking of active sites by surfactants. These problems promote further studies composite materials, where NPs spread on supports, such graphene derivatives or dichalcogenide nanosheets. Another promising type support for is few-layered hexagonal boron...
Reduced graphene oxide nanosheets decorated with Au–Pd bimetallic alloy nanoparticles are successfully prepared via a chemical approach consisting of reducing the metal precursors using ascorbic acid as reductant at an elevated temperature. The nanocomposite is employed photocatalyst for degradation organic contaminants such phenol, 2-chlorophenol (2-CP), and 2-nitrophenol (2-NP). complete phenol achieved after 300 min under natural sunlight irradiation whereas 2-CP 2-NP completed 180 min....
