Abstract

In this work, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) prepared through in situ green and facile synthesis by using nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) hydrogel as support, stabilizer and reducing agent by two different methods. Their catalytic abilities were examined for conversion of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP). The structure of as-synthesized composites with different AgNO3 concentrations were characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy; energy dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Results show that all nanocomposites demonstrated excellent catalytic activity. Among them, Ag@NFC-2 sample, with spherical and well-dispersed Ag NPs along the nanofiber, produced by the second method having 0.25 M AgNO3 concentration presented outstanding catalytic efficiency.
