Abstract
AbstractDeveloping easily recyclable noble metal nanoparticle‐based heterogeneous catalysts is highly desirable for the practical applications. Herein, a millimeter‐sized hierarchical porous titanosilicate (HPTS) was prepared by the multi‐template method. Various characterization results reveal that HPTS combines the structural advantages of monolith materials and nanomaterials. HPTS is used as an advanced support to construct the Ag/HPTS catalysts via the Ag+ in situ reduction on its pore wall. Ag/HPTS shows high catalytic activity for 4‐nitrophenol (4‐NP) reduction with the TOF values of 3.91 min−1, which can be attributed to the ultrafine Ag NPs (2.04 nm) and the unique structure of HPTS. The 3D pass‐through macroporous channels facilitate mass transfer. The mesopores with ultra‐short channel remarkably enhance the accessibility of the active sites. The abundant mesopores and micropores effectively confine the Ag NPs size. Moreover, Ag/HPTS demonstrated good stability and recyclability.
