Highly Efficient, Low-Cost, and Magnetically Recoverable FePt⁻Ag Nanocatalysts: Towards Green Reduction of Organic Dyes.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, synthetic organic dyes and pigments discharged from numerous industries are causing unprecedentedly severe water environmental pollution, and conventional water treatment processes are hindered due to the corresponding sophisticated aromatic structures, hydrophilic nature, and high stability against light, temperature, etc. Herein, we report an efficient fabrication strategy to develop a new type of highly efficient, low-cost, and magnetically recoverable nanocatalyst, i.e., FePt⁻Ag nanocomposites, for the reduction of methyl orange (MO) and rhodamine B (RhB), by a facile seed deposition process. X-ray diffraction results elaborate that the as-synthesized FePt⁻Ag nanocomposites are pure disordered face-centered cubic phase. Transmission electron microscopy studies demonstrate tha
