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.

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

We prepared silver nanoparticles (AgNP) embedded in SiO2 using a green polyol approach by conducting the synthesis at ambient temperature and pH. Glycerol solutions of SiO2 and silver nitrate were stirred overnight at room temperature. UV-vis spectra and TEM images of the reaction dispersion and XRD patterns of the centrifuged solid confirmed formation of AgNP (6 ± 2 nm) were embedded in SiO2. AAS showed that, about 50% of initial silver was deposited on SiO2. The presence of SiO2 enhanced the formation of AgNP and the stability of Ag/SiO2 in glycerol. The reason for these findings was probably the ultrasonic-probe dispersion of SiO2 in glycerol, which caused chemical interactions between glycerol and SiO2. Compared to bare AgNP, the AgNP/SiO2 demonstrated higher catalytic activity toward 4-nitrophenol reduction by NaBH4. The highest apparent rate constant was approximately 1.1 ∗ 10−4 s−1, comparable with Ag/SiO2 catalysts prepared using other methods. This study proposes a greener polyol method to synthesize SiO2-supported AgNP catalyst that does not require heating or regulating pH of the reaction mixture. This nanocomposite can be used in catalytic, antimicrobial, sensing, and other applications that are using AgNP/SiO2 synthesized by conventional methods.
