Application of Ag/Cu@C۳N۴ Nanocomposite as Efficient Catalyst for the CatalyticReduction of Inorganic Pollutants

The recyclable heterogeneous Ag/Cu@ C۳N۴ nanocomposite as inorganic–organic hybrid materialwas prepared using the loading of Ag and Cu nanoparticles on to the C۳N۴ nano sheets. The preparedAg/Cu@C۳N۴ nanocomposite were thoroughly characterized by different methods such as UV-visspectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Thesynergistic effect between C۳N۴ and bimetallic Ag-Cu nanoparticles enhanced the catalytic performance of thenanostructured Ag/Cu@ C۳N۴ in K۳[Fe(CN)۶] reduction reaction. The effective catalytic performance ofAg/Cu@ C۳N۴ towards the reduction of inorganic pollutants can be used for numerous scientific, industrial andenvironmental remediation applications.
