Porphyrin‐Stabilized Transition Metal Nanoparticles and Their Applications in the Reduction of 4‐Nitrophenol and the Generation of Hydroxyl Radicals

Abstract

The synthesis of robust transition metal nanoparticles (TMNPs) are still intensively investigated because of multiple up-to date applications in catalysis, solar cells, nonlinear optics, biological labeling, nanoelectronics, medicine and energy storage devices. Here we report synthesis of tetrahydroxyphenylporphyrin (TPP-OH)-stabilized TMNPs (including AuNPs, AgNPs and PdNPs) by mixing TPP-OH and simple commercial metal salt and followed by the addition of sodium borohydride [a] College

Synergy Derived from Bimetal Co−Cu in Phosphate to Enables Ultrafast Catalytic Hydrogenated Activity in Nitrophenol Reduction

“…Nitrophenols are regarded as one kind of persistent organic pollutants frequently identified in various industrial discharges released from plasticizers, dyes pesticides and pharmaceutical industries . However, its reduzate anilines are industrially used as various intermediates for pharmaceuticals, polymers, herbicides, photographic developers, corrosion inhibitors, anticorrosion‐lubricant, hair‐dyeing agent and other fine chemicals .…”

A comparison of the catalytic efficiency of copper-based bimetallic nanoparticles in the click reactions

“…Compared to monometallic nanoparticles, bimetallic nanoparticle (BNP) catalysts exhibit excellent chemical conversion due to their synergistic effect. 26–29 In continuation of our interest in the synthesis of transition metal nanoparticles and their applications in catalysis, 30–36 in this study, we have first synthesized 10 different graphene quantum dot (GQD)-stabilized Cu-based BNPs and compared their catalytic activities in the CuAAC click reaction. Among them, GQDs (average 3 nm) were synthesized from commercial starch and water, which have been previously described and employed as detoxicants and for cell imaging.…”
