A well-dispersed Ni nanoparticles on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Ni@MWCNTs) was prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using a vacuum quartz tube furnace at the temperature of 600°C. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed to characterize the synthesized catalyst. It shows an unfirom dispersion of Ni nanoparticles on MWCNTs with the average particle size of 8.6 nm. The as synthesized catalyst was applied in a redox reaction of 4-nitrophenol, which showed very high catalytic activity, stability and well conversion. The catalyst can be easily separated due to the magnetical performance

AbstractUsing freshly synthesized Fe(OH)2 matrix and HAuCl4 as precursor, l-lysine as stabilizer and linker, Au nanoparticles coated onto γ-Fe2O3 substrate were in-situ synthesized at room temperature. The Au@Fe2O3 hybrid composites with small highly dispersed gold particles (∼3 nm) exhibited high catalytic activity towards 4-nitrophenol reduction and the oxidation of benzyl alcohol. The results indicated the rate constant for 4-nitrophenol reduction was 5.3 × 10−2 s−1, and displayed efficient catalytic performance in terms of turnover number (TOF) of 134.8 h−1 for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol at 90 ± 1 °C. Furthermore, the facial electrode potential-driven in situ synthesis method paved the way of other metal nanoparticles over Fe2O3.

Here, we report a metal–organic framework featuring a binuclear copper unit, showing extraordinarily high catalytic activity (102.8 mmol g−1 h−1) for photodriven H2 generation, which is attributed to the synergistic effect between the two Cu ions.

Active sites are preserved in the citric acid-capped Au nanoclusters prepared in solid state. In water, the rapid dissolution of citric acid allows the reactants to easily access the active sites of infant Au nanoclusters leading to faster catalysis.
