Cucurbiturils regulating Fe3O4–Au nanoparticles as a multi-functional platform for Cd2+ sensing and nitrocompound catalysis†
Abstract
Herein, through the interfacial regulation of cucurbiturils (CBs) on Fe3O4–Au nanoparticles, a novel multifunctional platform is constructed for the sensitive detection of Cd2+ and the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrocompounds. The reported surface modification strategy provides an efficient approach to prepare a new platform for multiple purposes.
