Abstract

Polymer microgels loaded with inorganic nanoparticles have gained much attention as catalytic systems for reduction of toxic chemicals. Enhanced catalytic properties of hybrid microgels are related to the stimuli responsive nature of microgels and extraordinary stability of nanoparticles within network of polymer microgels. Catalytic properties of hybrid microgels can be tuned very easily by slight variation in environmental conditions. Herein we have reviewed catalytic reduction of toxic chemicals such as nitroarenes and organic dyes in the presence of appropriate hybrid microgel catalytic systems under different operating conditions of reaction. Recent advancements in catalytic behavior of hybrid microgels with special emphasis on their ability to catalytically degrade various toxic chemicals has been presented in this review.

摘要

负载有无机纳米颗粒的聚合物微凝胶作为减少有毒化学物质的催化系统已引起了广泛关注。杂化微凝胶的增强的催化性能与微凝胶的刺激响应特性以及聚合物微凝胶网络内纳米颗粒的非凡稳定性有关。杂化微凝胶的催化性能可以通过环境条件的轻微变化轻松调整。在本文中，我们综述了在适当的混合微凝胶催化系统的存在下，在不同的反应操作条件下，催化还原有毒化学物质（如硝基芳烃和有机染料）的方法。在这篇综述中，杂化微凝胶的催化性能的最新进展特别强调了它们催化降解各种有毒化学物质的能力。
