Abstract
The amino-functionalized SBA-15 silicon carrier (PMO-pr-NH2) was prepared by the one-pot method, and then HKUST-1 functional composites were synthesized by adsorption combined with in-situ preparation technology (HKUST-1@PMO-pr-NH2). A series of characterization techniques were used to analyze composites, such as BET, FTIR, TEM, XPS, TG, SEM, and XRD. The analysis showed that HKUST-1 was successfully prepared in the pores of the PMO-pr-NH2 silicon-based carrier. The catalytic reduction activity and thermal stability of the composite material were investigated using the reaction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP). After 4 cycles, the catalytic performance of the composites was maintained without any obvious change.
