Rattle-type microspheres as a support of tiny gold nanoparticles for highly efficient catalysis

Abstract

SiO2/poly(ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate) (PEGDMA) rattle-type microspheres loaded with tiny sized gold nanoparticles (∼2 nm) were prepared through a facile and novel method. Catalyzed reduction of 4-nitrophenol with NaBH4 demonstrated that this rattle-type microsphere possessed high catalytic efficiency.
