Superior catalytic reduction of methylene blue and 4-nitrophenol by copper nanoparticles-templated chitosan nanocatalyst

We represent a copper nanoparticle (CuNPs)-templated chitosan (CS) nanocomposite as an effective catalyst for the catalytic reduction of aqueous hazardous organic micropollutants, which was synthesized via a facile in-situ reduction step of pre-chelated Cu2+ ions on CS hydrogel. The as-developed CuN...
