A novel Au-loaded magnetic metal organic framework/graphene multifunctional composite: Green synthesis and catalytic application

In the present study, Au-loaded magnetic metal organic frameworks (MOFs)/graphene multifunctional composite were prepared. The well-dispersed nanoparticles were stabilized with 2D reduced graphene oxide and MOFs, which acts as effective substitutes for more conventional polymer ligands that are used to stabilize nanoparticles in a sol-immobilization procedure. The result shows the multifunctional composite could overcome the drawbacks of MOFs catalysts (chemical instability). This study indicated that the as-prepared Au-loaded magnetic MOFs/graphene multifunctional composite has great potential for using in a wide range of applications.
