Abstract

The catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol is of considerable importance to a multitude of applications and industries. The present work introduces a new catalyst (AuNP/GNP/MgAl-LDH) containing gold nanoparticles (AuNP) supported on graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) intercalated in Mg Al layered double hyd...
