We demonstrate a facile and general approach for the fabrication of highly dispersed Au, Pd, and Pt nanoparticles (NPs) on MIL-125(Ti) without using extra reducing and capping agents. Noble-metal NP formation is directed by an in situ redox reaction between the reductive MIL-125(Ti) with Ti(3+) and oxidative metal salt precursors. The resulting composites function as efficient photocatalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
