Abstract

Addressed herein, monodisperse Vulcan carbon supported Pt nanoparticles (Mw-Pt NPs@VC) have been reproducibly synthesized using the microwave assisted method and their application for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solutions was investigated through the adsorption mechanism. The prepared nanomaterials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. All results show that highly crystalline and colloidally stable nanoparticles have been formed and Mw-Pt NPs@VC were found to be one of the the most active catalyst. The results showed that the Mw-Pt NPs@VC nanoparticles had remarkable MB adsorption capacity of 271.15 mg/g. The equilibrium for MB adsorption was attained in ∼55 min. Moreover, Mw-Pt NPs@VC is a reusable and promising material for MB removal since it preserves 95.6 % of its initial efficiency after six successive cycles of adsorption–desorption.
