UiO-66/btb/Pd as a stable catalyst reduction of 4-nitrophenol into 4-aminophenol

Abstract In order to synthesize highly sparse nanoparticles, UiO-66-NH2 can be utilized as an appropriate support. It has great surface area, which is functionalized by 1,3-bis(dimethylthiocarbamoyloxy)benzene compounds that can act as the powerful performers, hence, the Pd (II) is a complex without aggregate over the UiO-66-NH2 microspheres structures (UiO-66/btb/Pd). Nitro-aromatic pollution in industrial waste streams threat wellbeing of water resources. The produced UiO-66/btb/Pd nanocatalyst showed appropriate catalytic activity for reduce nitro-aromatic compounds in aqueous solution. XRD, EDS, SEM, FT-IR, and TEM were utilized for characterizing the nanostructures UiO-66/btb/Pd.
