摘要: We present a facile method for synthesizing water-dispersible gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using double hydrophilic block copolymer (DHBC), poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(acrylic acid) (PEO-b-PAA), as template and demonstrate their application in the reduction of nitroarenes. Selective coordinative interactions between precursor PAA DHBC lead to formation micelles, which are subsequently transformed into Au NPs with an average diameter 10 nm reducing agent. The DHBC-templated (Au@DHBC remain stable water several months without any noticeable aggregation. Furthermore, Au@DHBC found be highly effective catalyzing series Remarkably, turnover frequency case 4-nitrophenol Au@DHBP reaches 800 h–1, outperforming previously reported NP-based catalytic systems. believe enhanced activity is due shell around NPs, templates formation...
