A review on copper-based nanoparticles as a catalyst: synthesis and applications in coupling reactions
Source abstract
Abstract
The ever-increasing demand for efficient and sustainable catalytic systems has prompted a surge in the exploration of transition metal nanoparticles as catalysts for various chemical reactions. Among these, copper-based nanoparticles have emerged as promising contenders, offering a viable alternative to the traditionally employed palladium catalysts. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the catalytic application of copper-based nanoparticles in coupling reactions, with a focus on their synthesis methods, structural characterization, and catalytic performance. The synthesis of copper-based nanoparticles is discussed in detail, encompassing a range of techniques including wet chemical technique, reverse micelle, biosynthesis, microwave and solgel methods. Emphasis is placed on tailoring the size, shape, and surface properties of these synthesized nanoparticles. Furthermore, the catalytic activity is detailed and summarized by focusing on the coupling reactions. The comprehensive insights provided herein serve as a valuable resource for researchers engaged in the development of efficient and eco-friendly catalytic processes.
