In situ synthesis of copper nanoparticles (NPs) supported on a reduced graphene oxide (RGO)–Fe3O4 nanocomposite was carried out with barberry fruit extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent.
The yields of the reaction products were very high and no toxic organic solvents were needed in this method. The high efficiency of the catalyst remains unaltered even after five successive cycles.
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.
