Efficient preparation of nanocatalysts. Case study: green synthesis of supported Pt nanoparticles by using microemulsions and mangosteen peel extract.

ABSTRACT: Greener nanocatalyst synthesis is growing in importance, especially when using scarce noble metals such as platinum (Pt) as the active metal. In the synthesis process presented herein, we utilized extract of mangosteen peel as a green reductant and found that it produces Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with high activity. The supported Pt NPs were synthesized via thermos-destabilization of a mangosteen extract microemulsion and subsequently tested with α-methyl styrene (AMS) hydrogenation at SATP. Additionally, we optimized the green synthesis of the supported Pt nanocatalyst (NPs) in terms of their synthesis yield and catalytic activity using the approaches of full factorial design (FFD), central composite design (CCD), and response surface methodology (RSM).
