Abstract

AbstractDeveloping environmental‐friendly and high‐performance catalysts hold excellent prospects for pollution control. Herein, a novel nanocatalyst is successfully prepared through a facile in‐situ deposition method upon bridging copper phosphate and the protein, which allowing uniform Ag3PO4 NPs to be immobilized on both inner and outer hierarchical nanoflowers. Results show that the fabricated hierarchical flower‐like architecture of Cu3(PO4)2@BSA@Ag3PO4 composite demonstrated superior catalytic performance for the hydrogenation of 4‐nitrophenol. Moreover, the hybrid nanoflowers hold a high conversion rate (around 95.4 %) and recycling stability over five reaction cycles. Therefore, such a convenient, economical and green approach to synthesize recyclable nanoflowers possesses broad application potential for the treatment of agricultural and industrial wastewater.
