摘要: In this report, a very simple and straightforward one step coprecipitation method was used for decorating CuFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) over graphene sheets. The as synthesized CuFe2O4/RGO nanocomposites (CFRNCs) were fully characterized by XRD, TEM, HRTEM, XPS, FTIR, Raman, ICP-AES SEM-EDS analysis which shows well controlled small sized (∼7 nm from Scherrer formula) NPs with dense compact loading RGO magnetic study reveals the superparamagnetic behavior of ferrite provides an extra benefit in catalytic recyclability. CFRNCs found to be highly active aerobic oxidative coupling amines desired imines achieving excellent yields (88–95%) under mild reaction conditions. Moreover role Cu, Fe species their interaction sheets studied separately synthesizing CuO/RGO, Fe2O3/RGO, bare samples, then mechanism proposed based upon various results. recycled up 4th cycle similar conditions efficient without any accountable loss activity stability. This outstanding can attributed synergistic between Cu/Fe species, high surface area due presence surfactant free led use present nanocatalyst many more industrially important applications.
