Catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol by using platinum nanoparticles stabilised by guar gum

- Guar gum stabilised Pt nanoparticles (GG-s-PtNPs) was developed.
- Guar gum were used as stabilizer and reducer.
- The spherical, nanometre-sized particles formed.
- Green approach to the fabrication of highly active nanocatalysts.
- GG-s-PtNPs exhibits superior catalytic activity for the reduction of p-nitrophenol.
