Abstract:In the current paper, a NiO nanoparticles-loaded mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) catalyst, denoted as NiO/CMK-3, has been successfully synthesized using a facile strategy. The as-prepared material has been characterized through XRD, Raman spectroscopy, low-temperature N2 physisorption measurements, FTIR, FE-SEM, TEM, and XPS. The as-fabricated NiO/CMK-3 catalyst manifested a superior activity in the NaBH4-assisted reduction of methylene blue (MB) dye to its colorless leuco form. Remarkably, over 99% of 25 mg L−1 MB … Show more
