This review presents the basic concepts and recent developments and advances of gold
nanoparticle (AuNP)-catalyzed 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) by …

Nitrophenol reduction to aminophenol with a reducing agent is conveniently carried out in
aqueous medium mainly with a metal or metal oxide catalyst. This reduction is presently …

Present research focuses on the environmental cleanup of hazardous organic pollutants that
are discharged into the natural aquatic bodies which upshots an undesirable shift in the …

A facile, environmentally friendly route is demonstrated for the synthesis of Pt–Au dendrimer-
like nanoparticles on the surface of polydopamine (PDA)-wrapped reduced graphene oxide …

We present a study on the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol by sodium borohydride in the
presence of metal nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are embedded in spherical …

Graphene oxide (GO) is emerging as a potential adsorbent for environmental cleanup due to
its attractive attributes associated with high removal efficiency toward water pollutants …

In view of the increasing applications of nanocatalysis in chemical transformations, this
article illustrates recent advances on the use of nanocatalysts for an important reduction …

Silver and gold nanoparticles have been grown on calcium alginate gel beads using a
green photochemical approach. The gel served as both a reductant and a stabilizer. The …
