Preparation of 4-aminiquinaldine grafted on silica-coated nano-Fe3O4 particles (Fe3O4@SiO2-AQ) as a novel retrievable heterogeneous nanocatalyst is described. This novel hybrid nanomaterial was applicated for the green synthesis of substituted 2-amino-4H-chromenes via the one-pot condensation reaction of an aldehyde, malononitrile ...

Among transition metal nanoparticles, palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) are recognized for their high catalytic activity in a wide range of organic transformations that academic and industrial importance. The increased interest environmental issues has led to the development various green approaches preparation efficient, low-cost environmentally sustainable Pd-nanocatalysts. Environmentally frie...

Monodisperse Pt and PtRu/C(60) hybrid nanoparticles with controlled diameters were synthesized by the reduction of metal precursors in the presence of C(60); the resulting metal/C(60) hybrid nanocatalyst exhibited a remarkable enhancement of methanol oxidation activity over commercial E-TEK catalysts.

A poly(2-vinylpyridine)-block-poly(2-(4-vinylphenyl)pyridine) (P2VP106-b-PVPPy95) coil-coil diblock copolymer forms hollow flower micelles in a mixed solvent of methanol and water (95/5, v/v) in a one step process. The geometry and composition of the micelles allow formation of a Pt-Au bimetallic dendritic nanocatalyst with a Pt leaf at room temperature.

A ZnO nanocatalyst with a high percentage exposure of (0001) facets embedded on a hierarchical flower-like matrix has been prepared by an in situ topotactic transformation of a layered double hydroxide precursor, and exhibits significantly higher visible light photocatalytic performance than other ZnO nanomaterials with fewer exposed (0001) facets.

Nanoparticle-based catalysts, or nanocatalysts, have been applied in various industrial sectors, including refineries, petrochemical plants, the pharmaceutical industry, the chemical industry, food processing, and environmental remediation. As a result, there is an increasing risk of human exposure to nanocatalysts. This review evaluates the toxicity of popular nanocatalysts applied in industri...

A new nanocatalyst which comprises gold particles (average size = (2.5 ± 1.3) nm) supported on intrinsically conductive polyaniline (PANI) was prepared via a sol-method. This Au/PANI catalyst was used for the first time in hydrogenation of the , -unsaturated aldehyde citral exhibiting high activity (93% conversion) and selectivity (76%) towards the products of C=O group hydrogenation, geraniol ...
