Humic acid-induced synthesis of hierarchical basic copper carbonate/AlOOH microspheres and its enhanced catalytic activity for 4-nitrophenol reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
One-pot synthesis of basic copper carbonate/AlOOH microspheres with hierarchical structure in the absence and presence of humic acid is presented. The synthesized microspheres are characterized by SEM, EDS, TEM, XRD, FT-IR and TGA data. The catalytic ability of these hierarchical structures has been evaluated with reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol with excess amount of NaBH4 as a model reaction. The reduction is regarded as a pseudo first-order reaction and the activation energy calculated to from the Arrhenius plots. The urchin-like HA-BBC/AlOOH shows better catalytic performance than the pure BBC/AlOOH samples with flower-like structure.

We report the synthesis of copper(II) oxide hollow nanostructures at ambient pressure and close to room temperature by applying the soft templating effect provided by the confinement of droplets in miniemulsion systems. Particle growth can be explained by considering a mechanism that involves both diffusion and reaction control. The catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol in aqueous media is used ...
