“…1,2 However, aggregation of MNPs is unavoidable because of high surface energies and strong van der Waals interactions, which would lead to low catalytic activity and poor reusability of MNPs. 3 To overcome this issue, various porous and nonporous supports including 纬-Al 2 O 3 , 4 silica, 5 ceria, 6 boehmite, 7 aluminosilicates, 8 zeolites, 9 and polymeric materials 10 have been utilized. Generally, the support prevents the agglomeration of MNPs and obviously provides a platform for MNPs to have a much larger number of active atoms at the surface.…”
Human hair powder (HHP) after chemical
treatment (e-HHP) has been
successfully utilized as a unique catalyst support for immobilization
of metal nanoparticles (MNPs). Ag, Au, Cu, Ni, and Ru NPs were used
to prepare five different nanocatalysts (MNPs/e-HHP). High-resolution
transmission electron microscopy results confirmed the excellent attachment
of ultrafine MNPs on the surface of e-HHP. Actual loading of metal
in MNPs/e-HHP was determined by energy-dispersive spectroscopy and
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. The zero-valent state of
MNPs in MNPs/e-HHP and a very strong interaction between MNPs and
e-HHP were also proven. The obtained AgNPs/e-HHP, AuNPs/e-HHP, CuNPs/e-HHP,
NiNPs/e-HHP, and RuNPs/e-HHP catalysts were employed for the self-coupling
of amines, N-oxidation of tertiary amines, aza-Michael reaction, imines synthesis, and oxidation of
alcohols, respectively. Reaction conditions were optimized, and the
scope of the catalytic systems was extended. The merit of the MNPs/e-HHP
materials is shown to be the superior catalytic activity. Advantages,
shortcomings, and future scope of the MNPs/e-HHP system are also highlighted.
