This work is generally focused on the synthesis of an efficient, reusable and novel heterogeneous Al2O3/CuI/PANI nanocatalyst, which has been well synthesized by a simple self-assembly approach where aniline is oxidized into PANI and aniline in the presence of KI also acts as a reductant. The nanocatalyst was well characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDX, TEM, BET and XPS techniques. In this study, the fabricated material was employed for the catalytic one-pot synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles via condensation between o-phenylenediamine and aldehydes in ethanol as a green solvent. The present method is facile and offers several advantages such as high % yield, less reaction time, and no use of additive/bases. Also, the catalyst showed better values of green metrics including low E-factor: 0.17, high reaction mass efficiency: 85.34%, high carbon efficiency: 94%, and high process mass intensity: 1.17.

The solar-driven catalytic recycling of plastics has recently emerged as a new frontier in industry. Nevertheless, its large-scale application requires the catalysts being capable of the strong absorption of visible and near-infrared light, strengthened photothermal efficiency, high activity and selective toward target product, enhanced stability, as well as easy separation from the products. In this work, magnetic Ni-MnO nanocatalyst (MN/C) is synthesized via the pyrolysis of metal-organic framework (MOF) for the photothermal catalytic recycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET).

Designing and inventing synergistic emerging antimicrobial strategies is critical for mitigating potential resistance to conventional antibiotics. This task is challenging because these antimicrobial agents should need to eliminate bacteria, slow oxidative stress in wounds, and be safe and nontoxic. Here, we report a highly safe antimicrobial nanocatalyst for bacterial scavenging through aptamer-synergistic multienzyme activity.

The performance of functional nanocatalysts can be extended by integrating multiple types of metals into well-designed nanoparticles. A porous multimetallic shell grown around high-quality monometallic seeds significantly enhances the availability of active sites. Here, tetrametallic core/shell nanoparticles (Au@mPdPtIr) featuring micro- and mesoporous shells are synthesized with strict control over the overall particle morphology.

The use of supported rhodium nanoparticles (RhNPs) is gaining attention due to the drive for better catalyst performance and sustainability. Silica-based supports are promising for RhNP immobilization because of their thermal and chemical stability. Functionalizing silica allows for the design of catalysts with improved activity for biomass transformations.
