Abstract
The preparation of stable copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) has remained a challenge for colloid chemists. In this investigation, mesoporous amine functionalized silica (NH2-SiO2) particles have been used as platform to host copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) for preventing their agglomeration. Mesoporous NH2-SiO2 particles are first prepared in one pot by diethyl amine (DEA) catalyzed hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) precursor in presence of hexamethylene diamine (HMDA) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). In the second step, sequential adsorption and chemical reduction of Cu ions are carried out to obtain NH2-SiO2/Cu catalyst nanocomposites. The morphology and structural composition of NH2-SiO2/Cu catalyst nanocomposite particles confirmed the anchoring of evenly distributed ~ 28 nm sized Cu particles. The catalytic activity of nanocomposite particles for reductive degradation…
