Abstract In this work, magnetic maize straw was prepared by the amidation process using renewable maize straw as starting material. After magnetic succinylated maize straw (Mag-S-MS) was mixed with cupric ions aqueous solution, Cu (II) could be captured by the amino and carboxylate groups. Then, the bonded Cu (II) was converted to valuable Cu nanoparticles (Cu NPS). It was characterized by SEM-EDS, XRD, XPS, and TGA, which indicated Cu NPS were formed successfully on Mag-S-MS without self-aggregation and oxidation. The above nanocomposites could be employed as a catalyst for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP). The effect of the dosage of Cu NPS loaded-Mag-S-MS, the initial concentrations of NaBH4 and 4-NP were investigated, and a possible mechanism was discussed. The catalyst maintained relatively high catalytic activity after five cycle tests. Due to its superparamagnetic nature, it could be quickly collected from the aqueous solution under a magnetic field. These results could provide a method for using agricultural waste in nano catalytic reaction.

AbstractCoMo nanoparticles (NPs) supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were synthesized by a one-stepin situco-reduction of an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) chloride, sodium molybdate dihydrate and graphene oxide (GO) using NaBH4as the sole reductant under ambient conditions. The powder XRD, FTIR, EDS and TEM were employed to characterize the structure, size and composition of the CoMo/RGO catalysts. The as-synthesized Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO catalysts exhibited high catalytic activity for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) at room temperature. The as-synthesized Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO nanocatalysts exhibited much higher catalytic activity than Co/RGO, Mo/RGO and the RGO-free Co0.9Mo0.1counterpart. Moreover, kinetic studies indicate that the catalytic hydrolysis of AB by Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO has first order kinetics with respect to the the catalyst concentration, but zero order kinetics with respect to the substrate concentration. The Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO catalyst has a turnover frequency (TOF) of 15.8 mol H2·(mol·Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO)−1·min−1at 25°C. Furthermore, the Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO show good recyclability for hydrogen generation from an aqueous solution of AB, which enables the practical reuse of the catalysts. Hence, this general method can be easily extended to the facile preparation of other RGO-based metallic systems.

A rapid development of a new methodology for decarboxylative N-arylation of carboxylic acids and the preparation of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles catalysed by peptide nanofibres decorated with Cu and Ni nanoparticles is presented. Compared with conventional aryl halides, benzoic acids are extremely interesting and environmentally friendly options for the synthesis of secondary aryl amines.
