Zusammenfassung:We report a facile approach to synthesize Pd–Cu nanoparticles immobilized on a Noria-GO nanocomposite for efficient nitrophenol reduction. The unique architecture of the Noria and the hydrophilic nature of GO contribute to the improved performance and structure of the resulting nanocomposite. The simple sol-immobilization approach employed NaBH4 as a reductant and polyvinyl alcohol as a capping agent to evenly decorate small Pd–Cu nanoparticles with a diameter of 1.4 nm on the Noria-GO surface. The prepared Pd–Cu@Noria-GO nanocomposite was utilized as a nanocatalyst in converting of nitrophenol to aminophenol using NaBH4 solution. Our Pd–Cu@Noria-GO nanocomposite exhibited superior catalytic efficacy with large conversion percentages, Kapp, and KAF values of 95%, 0.225 min−1, and 225 min−1g−1, respectively. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy confirmed the oxidation state of the prepared nanoparticles, and TEM findings demonstrated the homogenous decoration of Pd–Cu NPs on the Noria-GO surface. Additionally, the durability of the Pd–Cu@Noria-GO nanocomposite shown its potential as a robust and promising material for remediating organic contaminants. Our results indicate that Pd–Cu@Noria-GO nanocomposite can be an effective and sustainable approach for mitigating the hazards associated with nitrophenols. •Pd–Cu bimetallic NPs were easily synthesized on the Noria-GO nanocomposite.•Pd–Cu@Noria-GO shows promise for nitrophenol removal in environmental remediation.•Pd–Cu@Noria-GO catalyst showed good stability and recyclability.
