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.

In this paper, hexaaluminate oxides LaMAl12O19-σwere prepared by using M=Cu ,Ce and Zn as active components to substitute Al in the hexaaluminate lattice by co-precipitation method. The structure and properties of LaMAl11O19-σcatalyst was characterized with XRD and BET. The results showed LaCuAl11O19-σexhibited significant high catalytic activity for the decomposition reaction of N2O. Under the simulated in situ condition, LaCuAl11O19-σalso indicated significant catalytic activity and stability, with N2O conversion of 90% at 635°C.

Au NPs were generated via in situ reduction on copolymer brush P(OEGMA-co-MQ) functionalized GO. MQ units in the brushes as capping agents could stabilize the Au NPs. The Au NPs–GO hybrid exhibited high catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-NP.
