Zusammenfassung:[Display omitted] To realize the efficient and complete removal of organic pollutants in waste water, it is highly urgent for scalable synthesis of either self-supported bimetallic nanocatalysts or anchored on carbon-based materials. In this study, a simple one-pot coreduction method was developed for preparing well-dispersed AgPd alloyed nanoclusters uniformly dispersed on reduced graphene oxide (AgPd NCs/rGO) at room temperature by utilizing 5-azacytosine as the capping agent. The nanocomposites were characterized by a set of physical characterizations. The formation mechanism and catalytic mechanism were discussed in some details. Moreover, the prepared AgPd NCs/rGO exhibited dramatically increased catalytic properties towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in the presence of NaBH4 when compared to commercial Pd/C (20 wt.%).
