Stable and recyclable Au25 clusters for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thiol-stabilized Au(25)L(18) monolayer protected clusters (MPCs) were found to be active for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. Results suggest that these MPCs are stable catalysts and do not lose their structural integrity during the catalytic process. High stability under the reaction conditions enables the recyclability of these MPCs.

Cu(2+) induced formation of Au44(SC2H4Ph)32 and its high catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol at low temperature.
A new nanocluster of atomic precision, Au44(SC2H4Ph)32, is obtained by an oxidation-decomposition-recombination (ODR) process from Au25(SC2H4Ph)18 under mild conditions with high yield (75%). Among the investigated gold nanoclusters, Au44(SC2H4Ph)32 exhibits the highest catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol, especially at low temperature, indicating that the catalytic properties...
متن کاملIn situ recyclable gold nanoparticles using CO2-switchable polymers for catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol.
CO(2)-switchable gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared by functionalizing AuNPs with CO(2)-switchable polymers. Their dispersion-re-dispersion in and separation from aqueous solution can be easily and reproducibly adjusted by CO(2) bubbling through and removal from the solution, enabling unique CO(2) controllable, efficient in situ recycling of NPs. As compared to non-functionalized AuNPs, t...

Here, we successfully developed the undoped, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ doped Zirconia nanoparticles (ZrO2 NPs) by a simple co-precipitation method at room temperature and characterized by various physicochemical measurement techniques to investigate their structure, morphology, and sizes of the particles. The bandgap energy values of doped and undoped ZrO2 NPs were estimated using optical absorption...
متن کاملOxidative decomposition of Au25(SR)18 clusters in a catalytic context.
Gold nanoparticle catalysis of chemical transformations has emerged as a subject of intense interest over the past decade. In particular, Au25(SR)18 has emerged as a model catalyst. In an effort to investigate their potential as intact, homogeneous, unsupported catalysts, we have discovered that Au25(SR)18 clusters are not stable in oxidizing conditions reported for catalytic styrene oxidation....

Developing highly efficient and recyclable catalysts for the transformation of toxic organic contaminates still remains a challenge. Herein, Titanium Carbide (Ti₃C₂) MXene modified by alkali treatment process was selected as a support (designated as alk-Ti₃C₂X₂, where X represents the surface terminations) for the synthesis of Pd/alk-Ti₃C₂X₂. Results show that the alkali treatment leads to the ...
