Au nanoparticle@hollow mesoporous carbon with FeCo/graphitic shell nanoparticls as a magnetically recyclable yolk–shell nanocatalyst for catalytic reduction of nitroaromatics
Abstract We have developed a highly stable and magnetically recyclable yolk–shell nanocatalyst for catalytic reduction of nitroaromatics. This nanocatalyst is composed of a ~13 nm Au nanoparticle encapsulated in a hollow mesoporous carbon (hmC) shell with a diameter of ~120 nm and a thickness of ~15...
