Mesoporous nickel phosphate/phosphonate hybrid microspheres with excellent performance for adsorption and catalysis†
Abstract
Mesoporous nickel phosphate/phosphonate hybrid microspheres with the combined merits of inorganic and organic components were prepared by a facile phosphate-mediated self-assembly methodology, exhibiting fine capabilities for CO2 capture, heavy metal ion removal and catalytic hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol under ambient conditions.
