Mesoporous nickel phosphate/phosphonate hybrid microspheres with excellent performance for adsorption and catalysis

Abstract

Mesoporous nickel phosphate/phosphonate microspheres were synthesized through a template-free phosphate-mediated self-assembly procedure, exhibiting excellent performance for CO₂ capture, heavy metal ion adsorption and catalytic hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol.
