description A facile approach was successfully developed for synthesis of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC)-supported magnetic CuFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@Ag@ZIF-8 nanospheres which consist of a paramagnetic CuFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@Ag core and porous ZIF-8 shell. The CuFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles (NPs) were first prepared in the presence of CNC and dispersant. Ag NPs were then deposited on the CuFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/CNC composites via an in situ reduction directed by dopamine polymerization (PDA). The CuFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/CNC@Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposite was characterized by TEM, FTIR, XRD, N<sub>2</sub> adsorption-desorption isotherms, VSM, and XPS. Catalytic studies showed that the CuFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/CNC@Ag@ZIF-8 catalyst had much higher catalytic activity than CuFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@Ag catalyst with the rate constant of 0.64 min<sup>&#8722;1</sup>. Because of the integration of ZIF-8 with CuFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/CNC@Ag that combines the advantaged of each component, the nanocomposites were demonstrated to have an enhanced catalytic activity in heterogeneous catalysis. Therefore, these results demonstrate a new method for the fabrication of CNC-supported magnetic core-shell catalysts, which display great potential for application in biocatalysis and environmental chemistry.
