Abstract
, respectively. Moreover, it is a reusable and stable catalyst for reduction reactions up to five cycles without significant loss in catalytic activity. Finally, a plausible mechanism for the reduction of pollutants is also discussed in detail. As a whole, the prepared nanocomposite might display stunning behaviour for wastewater treatment applications.
