Abstract

In this study, the extract of Pistacia atlantica leaves is used to modify the surface of multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for in situ reduction and immobilization of Ag nanoparticles. The resultant nanocatalyst, i.e. MWCNTs@ S. Lavandulifolia/Ag, is characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The MWCNTs@ S. Lavandulifolia/Ag nanocomposite can be employed for decolorization of organic dyes (MO and MB) as a heterogeneous, highly effective and low-cost catalyst. Furthermore, this catalyst can be recycled and reused for 5 times without significant loss of efficiency.
