This study focused on the design and development of a new heterogeneous catalyst based on polyester fabric modified with graphene oxide nanosheets decorated with silver metallic nanoparticles. The prepared PE-rGO/Ag-0 showed high catalytic activity and stability, making it a strong candidate for long-lasting chemical catalytic processes.
This study was focused on the design and development of a new heterogeneous catalyst based on polyester (PE) fabric modified with graphene oxide nanosheets decorated with silver metallic nanoparticles (PE-rGO/Ag-0), using a simple, easy, and effective approach. PE fabrics were coated by sonication with graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets followed by in situ deposition and reduction of silver nanoparticles over the GO surface, covering the PE fabric and producing PE-rGO/Ag-0. The crystalline structure, surface morphology and chemical characteristics of the synthesised materials were identified by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy analyses (SEM and TEM) and by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The catalytic performance of the prepared PE-rGO/Ag-0 was assessed during the hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) in the presence of sodium borohydride (NaBH4). Experimental results indicate that PE-rGO/Ag-0 with a surface of 6 cm(2) (3x2 cm) showed the highest catalytic activity with an apparent reaction rate constant (K-app) of 0.65 min(-1). In addition, PE-rGO/Ag-0 activity resulted to be comparable and significantly higher than previously reported values of silver-based catalysts. Remarkable stability values were achieved during different operating cycles without significant degradation in the catalytic activity, suggesting that PE-rGO/Ag-0 can be used as a strong candidate in long-lasting chemical catalytic processes.
