Cationic Polystyrene Resin Bound Silver Nanocomposites Assisted Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for Enhanced Catalytic Reduction of 4-Nitrophenol in Aqueous Medium

The present work reported a novel strategy to construct supported cationic-polystyrene-resin-bound silver nanocomposites for enhanced catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol in an aqueous medium. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used as a model instrument for the study of catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol using cationic-polystyrene-resin-bound silver nanocomposite materials. The mechanism is based on the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol due to the electron transfer process that occurred between donor borohydride (BH4−) and acceptor 4-nitrophenol. The polystyrene resin provides support and surface area to increase the catalytic activity of silver nanoparticles. The diffused reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the binding of silver particles onto the surface of cationic polystyrene resin beads. Furthermore, the catalyst was easily separated by the filtration and drying process and was able to reuse. A quantitative analysis of this work has also been performed. The linearity range, the limit of detection, and the limit of quantification obtained for the present method were 0.1 × 10−4 to 1.0 M, 0.6 M, and 2.1 M, respectively. Moreover, a good catalytic efficiency was found to be 96.8%. The advantages of the current method are its simplicity, sensitivity, rapidity, low cost, ease of preparation, and excellent catalytic efficiency to reduce 4-nitrophenol from an aqueous solution.
