New Approach to Enhance the Yield Stress of Electro‐Rheological Fluids by Polyaniline‐Coated Layered Silicate Nanocomposites

We synthesized new polyaniline (PANI)/organoclay (aminosilane surface‐treated) nanocomposite particles and prepared electro‐rheological (ER) fluids by dispersing the particles in silicone oil. A distinct enhancement in yield stress was observed due to the presence of PANI‐coated clay particles. The effects of delaminated clay on the ER yield stress were investigated and compared with other ER fluid systems, which use PANI particles only or a simply intercalated PANI/clay nanocomposite.     

Prussian Blue Nanocubes‐SnO2 Quantum Dots‐Reduced Graphene Oxide Ternary Nanocomposite: An Efficient Non‐noble‐metal Electrocatalyst for Non‐enzymatic Detection of H2O2

Developing non‐noble‐metal electrocatalyst for non‐enzymatic H₂O₂ sensing is highly attractive. A facile, two‐step approach has been utilized for the synthesis of PBNCs/SnO₂ QDs/RGO ternary nanocomposite. TEM, SEM, XPS, and XRD techniques were used to the characterize the structural and morphological properties of synthesized ternary nanocomposite. The synthesized ternary nanocomposite has been examined as an electrode material for the electrochemical detection of H₂O₂ using the Amperometry technique. Under optimum conditions, PBNCs/SnO₂ QDs/RGO ternary nanocomposite performed very well in the electrocatalytic reduction of H₂O₂ with a linear dynamic range from 25–225 μM (R²=0.996) with a low detection limit of 71 nM (S/N=3). Compared to the recent literature, PBNCs/SnO₂QDs/RGO ternary nanocomposite based modified electrode exhibit a wider linear dynamic range with a low detection limit. Furthermore, PBNCs/SnO₂ QDs/RGO ternary nanocomposite based modified electrode showed an excellent anti‐interference ability against various common interfering agents. The practical applicability of this ternary nanocomposite based modified electrode was further extended to determine the H₂O₂ in tap water with acceptable recovery. The present performance of PBNCs/SnO₂ QDs/RGO ternary nanocomposite material towards H₂O₂ sensing might widen its application for developing a new type of non‐noble metal‐based non‐enzymatic electrochemical biosensors.     

CoFe2O4/TMU‐17‐NH2 as a hybrid magnetic nanocomposite catalyst for multicomponent synthesis of dihydropyrimidines

A new magnetic metal–organic framework nanocomposite (CoFe₂O₄/TMU‐17‐NH₂) was prepared via an embedding approach by synthesis of the metal–organic framework crystals in the presence of magnetic cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. We demonstrated that the resulting magnetic nanocomposite can serve as a recyclable nanocatalyst for one‐pot synthesis of bis‐3,4‐dihydropyrimidin‐2(1H)‐one and 3,4‐dihydropyrimidin‐2(1H)‐one derivatives via three‐component reaction of 1,3‐diketone, urea or thiourea and aromatic aldehyde under solvent‐free conditions. CoFe₂O₄/TMU‐17‐NH₂ was characterized using various techniques. The recovery of the nanocomposite was achieved by a simple magnetic decantation and it was reused at least seven times without significant degradation in catalytic activity.     

Cobalt nanoparticles anchored to porous silicon as a novel modifier for the construction of enzyme‐free hydrogen peroxide screen‐printed sensor

In this work, a screen‐printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was modified with a cobalt/porous silicon (Co@PSi) nanocomposite powder to develop a nonenzymatic sensor for the detection of hydrogen peroxide. The Co@PSi nanocomposite was synthesized through the chemical reaction between silicon powder in a HF/HNO₃ solution and cobalt cations. In this process, cobalt nanoparticles were anchored on the porous silicon. The structure and morphology of the synthesized nanocomposite were investigated by X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray photoemission spectroscopy, energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, and field‐emission scanning electron microscopy. The constructed nonenzymatic, screen‐printed sensors based on the Co@PSi nanocomposite showed perfect electrocatalytic oxidation response to hydrogen peroxide over the range 1–170 and 170–3,770 μmol/L with the limit of detection of 0.8 μmol/L. In addition, the Co@PSi‐SPCE sensor exhibited good selectivity for the determination of H₂O₂ in the presence of common interfering species including glucose, ascorbic acid, uric acid, dopamine, nitrate, and nitrite ions. The constructed electrochemical sensor was successfully used for the determination of H₂O₂ in real samples.     

A Simple Layer‐by‐Layer Assembly Strategy for a Reagentless Biosensor Based on a Nanocomposite of Methylene Blue‐Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

A simple layer‐by‐layer (LBL) assembly strategy was established for constructing a novel reagentless biosensor based on a nanocomposite of methylene blue multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MB‐MWNTs). A nanocomposite of MB‐MWNTs was obtained by direct premixing and possessed good dispersion in barbital‐HCl buffer. Through electrostatic interactions, the nanocomposite of MB‐MWNTs could alternately be assembled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on the Au electrode modified with precursor films. UV/Vis spectra and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to reveal the formation of the nanocomposite of MB‐MWNTs. The LBL assembly process was also verified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The MB is a well‐established mediator and efficiently facilitated the electron shuttle between the HRP and the electrode, as demonstrated by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The as‐prepared reagentless biosensor exhibited a fast response for the determination of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and reached 95% of the steady‐state current within 3 s. It was found that the linear response range of the reagentless biosensor for H₂O₂ was from 4.0 μM to 3.78 mM with a detection limit of 1.0 μM and a sensitivity of 22.5 μA mM⁻¹. The biosensor exhibited a high reproducibility and stability.     

A novel ternary GO@SiO2‐HPW nanocomposite as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of benzazoles in aqueous media

A new solid acid catalyst, consisting of 12‐phosphotungstic heteropoly acid (HPW) supported on graphene oxide/silica nanocomposite (GO@SiO₂), has been developed via immobilizing HPW onto an amine‐functionalized GO/SiO₂ surface through coordination interaction (GO@SiO₂‐HPW). The GO@SiO₂‐HPW nanocomposite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The prepared nanocomposite could be dispersed homogeneously in water and further used as a heterogeneous, reusable, and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles by the reaction of 1,2‐phenelynediamine or 2‐aminothiophenol with different aldehydes.     

Electrorheological characteristics of polyaniline/titanate composite nanotube suspensions

In this paper, one-dimensional polyaniline/titanate (PANI/TN) composite nanotubes were synthesized by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization directed by block copolymer. These novel nanocomposite particles were used as a dispersed phase in electrorheological (ER) fluids, and the ER properties were investigated under both steady and dynamic shear. It was found that the ER activity of PANI/TN fluids varied with the ratio of aniline to titanate, and the PANI/TN suspensions showed a higher ER effect than that made by sphere-like PANI/TiO₂ nanoparticles. These observations were well interpreted by their dielectric spectra analysis; a larger dielectric loss enhancement and a faster rate of interfacial polarization were responsible for a higher ER activity of nanotubular PANI/TN-based fluids.     

Microwave‐Hydrothermal Preparation and Visible‐Light Photoactivity of Plasmonic Photocatalyst Ag‐TiO2 Nanocomposite Hollow Spheres

Visible‐light‐driven plasmonic photocatalyst Ag‐TiO₂ nanocomposite hollow spheres are prepared by a template‐free chemically‐induced self‐transformation strategy under microwave‐hydrothermal conditions, followed by a photochemical reduction process under xenon lamp irradiation. The prepared samples are characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, N₂ adsorption‐desorption isotherms, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV/Vis and Raman spectroscopy. Production of ?OH radicals on the surface of visible‐light illuminated TiO₂ was detected by using a photoluminescence method with terephthalic acid as the probe molecule. The photocatalytic activity of as‐prepared samples was evaluated by photocatalytic decolorization of Rhodamine B (RhB) aqueous solution at ambient temperature under visible‐light irradiation. The results show that the surface plasmon absorption band of the silver nanoparticles supported on the TiO₂ hollow spheres was red shifted, and a strong surface enhanced Raman scattering effect for the Ag‐TiO₂ nanocomposite sample was observed. The prepared nanocomposite hollow spheres exhibits a highly visible‐light photocatalytic activity for photocatalytic degradation of RhB in water, and their photocatalytic activity is higher than that of pure TiO₂ and commercial Degussa P25 (P25) powders. Especially, the as‐prepared Ag‐TiO₂ nanocomposite hollow spheres at the nominal atomic ratio of silver to titanium ( R ) of 2 showed the highest photocatalytic activity, which exceeds that of P25 by a factor of more than 2.     

Phase behavior,crystallization, and nanostructures in thermoset blends of epoxy resin and amphiphilic star‐shaped block copolymers

This article reports thermoset blends of bisphenol A‐type epoxy resin (ER) and two amphiphilic four‐arm star‐shaped diblock copolymers based on hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and hydrophobic poly(propylene oxide) (PPO). 4,4′‐Methylenedianiline (MDA) was used as a curing agent. The first star‐shaped diblock copolymer with 70 wt % ethylene oxide (EO), denoted as (PPO‐PEO)₄, consists of four PPO‐PEO diblock arms with PPO blocks attached on an ethylenediamine core; the second one with 40 wt % EO, denoted as (PEO‐PPO)₄, contains four PEO‐PPO diblock arms with PEO blocks attached on an ethylenediamine core. The phase behavior, crystallization, and nanoscale structures were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron microscopy, and small‐angle X‐ray scattering. It was found that the MDA‐cured ER/(PPO‐PEO)₄ blends are not macroscopically phase‐separated over the entire blend composition range. There exist, however, two microphases in the ER/(PPO‐PEO)₄ blends. The PPO blocks form a separated microphase, whereas the ER and the PEO blocks, which are miscible, form another microphase. The ER/(PPO‐PEO)₄ blends show composition‐dependent nanostructures on the order of 10?30 nm. The 80/20 ER/(PPO‐PEO)₄ blend displays spherical PPO micelles uniformly dispersed in a continuous ER‐rich matrix. The 60/40 ER/(PPO‐PEO)₄ blend displays a combined morphology of worm‐like micelles and spherical micelles with characteristic of a bicontinuous microphase structure. Macroscopic phase separation took place in the MDA‐cured ER/(PEO‐PPO)₄ blends. The MDA‐cured ER/(PEO‐PPO)₄ blends with (PEO‐PPO)₄ content up to 50 wt % exhibit phase‐separated structures on the order of 0.5–1 μm. This can be considered to be due to the different EO content and block sequence of the (PEO‐PPO)₄ copolymer. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 44: 975–985, 2006     

Synthesis and electrorheological characterization of emulsion polymerized SAN‐clay nanocomposite suspensions

Styrene‐acrylonitrile (SAN) copolymer‐clay nanocomposite was synthesized by emulsion polymerization, which is the easiest method of intercalation (e.g., melt or solution intercalation). Existence of the intercalated polymer was verified by Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. From XRD, we confirmed the insertion of styrene‐acrylonitrile copolymer between the interlayers of clay, whose separation consequently becomes larger than that of the polymer‐free clay. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the thermal stability of the organic polymers was sustained. Using electrorheological (ER) fluids composed of intercalated particles and silicone oil, we observed typical ER behavior, such as higher shear stress in the presence of an electric field and increasing yield stress with particle concentration. We further observed the critical shear rate at which the ER fluids exhibit pseudo‐Newtonian behavior.     

Photocatalytic Nanocomposite Films Fabricated by Layer‐by‐Layer Self‐assembly of TiO2 Nanoparticles and Lignosulfonates

Photocatalytic multilayer nanocomposite films composed of anatase TiO₂ nanoparticles and lignosulfonates (LS) were fabricated on quartz slides by the layer‐by‐layer (LBL) self‐assembly technique. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV‐vis spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the TiO₂/LS multilayer nanocomposite films. Moreover, the photocatalytic properties (decomposition of methyl orange and bacteria) of multilayer nanocomposite films were investigated. XPS results indicated that the intensities of titanium and sulfur peaks increased with the LBL deposition process. A linear increase in absorbance at 280 nm was found by UV‐Vis spectroscopy, suggesting that stepwise multilayer growth occurs on the substrate and this deposition process is highly reproducible. AFM images showed that quartz slide was completely covered by TiO₂ nanoparticles when a 10‐bilayer multilayer film was formed. The decomposition efficiency of methyl orange by TiO₂/LS multilayer films under the same UV irradiation time increased linearly with the number of TiO₂ layers, and the results of decomposition of bacteria under UV irradiation showed that TiO₂/LS multilayer nanocomposite films exhibited excellent decomposition activity of bacteria (Escherichia coil).     

Highly efficient removal of toxic lead ions from aqueous solutions using a new magnetic metal‐organic framework nanocomposite

A magnetic metal‐organic framework (MOF) nanocomposite was successfully prepared by a new and green strategy through reasonable design. Magnetic MOF of Fe₃O₄‐NHSO₃H@HKUST‐1 nanocomposite use for removal of lead ions as an environmental pollutant. The experimental results indicated that the nano adsorbent of Fe₃O₄‐NHSO₃H@HKUST‐1 can removed lead ions under optimum operational conditions. The dosage of the nanocomposite, pH of the sample solution, and contact time were obtained to be 10 mg, 7.0, and 90 min, respectively, while the initial concentration of Pb(II) ions of 400 mg/L was used. A kinetic study indicated that a pseudo‐second‐order model agreed well with the experimental data. The isotherm experiments revealed that the Langmuir model attained better fits to the equilibrium data than the Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for the removal of lead under the optimum operational conditions of pH 7.0 and temperature 25°C was found to be 384.6 mg/g. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption of lead is spontaneous and endothermic. The magnetic MOF nanocomposite could be recovered easily and reused many times without significant loss of its nano‐adsorbent activity. The proposed method is simple, eco‐friendly, low cost, and efficient in the removal of lead ions from aqueous solutions.     

Magnetically separable g‐C3N4 hybrid nanocomposite: Highly efficient and eco‐friendly recyclable catalyst for one‐pot synthesis of α‐aminonitriles

A magnetically separable graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposite (Fe₃O₄/g‐C₃N₄) as a catalyst for the three‐component condensation reactions of carbonyl compounds, amines and trimethylsilylcyanide was thoroughly investigated. The reaction of these three components was found to be efficient, economical and green and took place in the presence of a catalytic amount of the magnetically separable catalyst to yield the corresponding α‐aminonitriles in good to excellent yields. The prepared nanocomposite was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy‐dispersive X‐ray and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies. The nanocomposite was also found to be reusable could be recovered easily and reused several times without distinct deterioration in its catalytic activity.     

Direct Electrochemistry and Electrocatalysis of Myoglobin Immobilized on Graphene‐CTAB‐Ionic Liquid Nanocomposite Film

This paper describes the direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of myoglobin immobilized on graphene‐cetylramethylammonium bromide (CTAB)‐ionic liquid nanocomposite film on a glassy carbon electrode. The nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemistry. It was found that the high surface area of graphene was helpful for immobilizing more proteins and the nanocomposite film could provide a favorable microenvironment for MB to retain its native structure and activity and to achieve reversible direct electron transfer reaction at an electrode. The ionic liquid may play dual roles here: it keeps the protein's activity and improves stability of the nanocomposite film; it also serves as a binder between protein and electrode, therefore, enhancing the electron transfer between the protein and the electrode. The nanocomposite films also exhibit good stability and catalytic activities for the electrocatalytic reduction of H₂O₂.     

A MgO Nanoparticles Composite Matrix‐Based Electrochemical Biosensor for Hydrogen Peroxide with High Sensitivity

A novel horseradish peroxidase (HRP) electrochemical biosensor based on a MgO nanoparticles (nano‐MgO)‐chitosan (chit) composite matrix was developed. The morphology of nano‐MgO‐chit nanocomposite was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The interaction between nano‐MgO‐chit nanocomposite matrix and enzyme was characterized with UV‐vis spectra. This proposed composite material combined the advantages of inorganic nanoparticles and organic polymer chit. The HRP immobilized in the nanocomposite matrix displayed excellent electrocatalytic activity to the reduction of H₂O₂ in the presence of hydroquinone as a mediator. The effects of the experimental variables such as solution pH and the working potential were investigated using steady‐state amperometry. The present biosensor (HRP‐modified electrode) had a fast response towards H₂O₂ (less than 10 s), and excellent linear relationships were obtained in the concentration range of 0.1–1300 μM, with a detection limit of 0.05 μM (S/N=3). Moreover, the stability and reproducibility of this biosensor were evaluated with satisfactory results.     

Mechanical property and corrosion resistance of zirconia/polydopamine nanocomposite multilayer films fabricated via a novel non‐electrostatic layer‐by‐layer assembly technique

Zirconia/polydopamine (ZrO₂/PDA) nanocomposite multilayer films were constructed on Si substrate via a novel nonelectrostatic layer‐by‐layer (NELBL) assembly technique. The building block of this technique is the newly reported dopamine molecule, which can be attached to almost all material surfaces and undergo oxidation‐polymerization to form PDA layers; more importantly, the outer hydroxyl groups of the PDA layer can chelated with certain inorganic oxide nanoparticles to generate oxide films. Thus, ZrO₂/PDA nanocomposite multilayer films were fabricated by sequential NELBL deposition of PDA and ZrO₂ nanoparticles. The formation of the ZrO₂/PDA nanocomposite multilayer films was monitored by the water contact angle (WCA) and ellipsometric thickness measurements, while the microstructure of the fabricated films was analyzed by means of atomic force microscope (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X‐ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The mechanical and anticorrosion behaviors of the annealed ZrO₂/PDA nanocomposite multilayers were found to be greatly enhanced as compared with that of the annealed homogeneous ZrO₂ film. The better mechanical and anticorrosion behaviors of the annealed ZrO₂/PDA nanocomposite multilayers than the annealed homogeneous ZrO₂ film may be closely related to their special microstructure. Namely, the organic–inorganic hybrid microstructure of the annealed ZrO₂/PDA nanocomposite multilayers may largely account for the increased nanohardness and corrosion resistance.

Hydrothermal Realization of a Hierarchical,Flowerlike MnWO4@MWCNTs Nanocomposite with Enhanced Reversible Li Storage as a New Anode Material

A phase‐pure MnWO₄‐based nanocomposite, MnWO₄@MWCNTs (MWCNTs=multiwalled carbon nanotubes), was successfully synthesized through a simple hydrothermal reaction at 180 °C by adjusting the pH of the precursor medium. The resulting nanocomposite maintains the original flowerlike morphology of MnWO₄ with hierarchical structures composed of numerous single‐crystalline nanorods that drive growth preferentially along the [001] direction. The growth mechanism for the flowerlike formations is also discussed. In addition, the Li electroactivity of pure MnWO₄ and MnWO₄@MWCNTs electrodes was investigated. As an anode for Li‐ion batteries, the MnWO₄@MWCNTs nanocomposite showed enhanced electrochemical performance in reversible Li storage relative to that shown by bare MnWO₄ electrodes, including a high capacity of 425 mAh g^?1 and superior rate performance. This performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of the nanocomposite combined with the MWCNTs, which provide efficient electron transport in their role as a conductor.     

Effect of polyol structure on the properties of the resultant magnetic polyurethane elastomer nanocomposites

In this study, two types of magnetic polyurethane (PU) elastomer nanocomposites using polycaprolactone (PCL) and polytetramethylene glycol (PTMG) as polyols were synthesized by incorporating thiodiglycolic acid surface modified Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (TSM‐Fe₃O₄) into PU matrices through in situ polymerization method. TSM‐Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were prepared using in situ coprecipitation method in alkali media and were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer, Transmission Electron Microscopy, and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer. The effects of PCL and PTMG polyols on the properties of the resultant PUs were studied. The morphology and dispersion of the nanoparticles in the magnetic nanocomposites were studied by Scanning Electron Microscope. It was observed that dispersion of nanoparticles in PTMG‐based magnetic nanocomposite was better than PCL‐based magnetic nanocomposite. Furthermore, the effect of polyol structure on thermal and mechanical properties of nanocomposite was investigated by Thermogravimetric Analysis and Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis. A decrease in the thermal stability of magnetic nanocomposites was found compared to pure PUs. Furthermore, DMTA results showed that increase in glass transition temperature of PTMG‐based magnetic nanocomposite is higher than PCL‐based magnetic nanocomposite, which is attributed to better dispersion of TSM‐Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles in PTMG‐based PU matrix. Additionally, magnetic nanocomposites exhibited a lower level of hydrophilicity compared to pure PUs. These observations were attributed to the hydrophobic behavior of TSM‐Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. Moreover, study of fibroblast cells interaction with magnetic nanocomposites showed that the products can be a good candidate for biomedical application.

Nanocomposite with Polypyrrole Encapsulated within SBA‐15 Mesoporous Silica: Preparation and Its Electrochemical Application

The nanocomposite with polypyrrole (PPy) confined in ordered mesoporous silica SBA‐15 channels was synthesized by in situ electropolymerization. X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, N₂ adsorption/desorption, and FT‐IR studies indicated that the nanocomposite has the well‐ordered hexagonal structures and PPy was in situ polymerized into the channels instead of the outer surface of SBA‐15. Furthermore, the PPy/SBA‐15 nanocomposite was used as an electrode modifier. We found that the nanocomposite‐modified electrode exhibited good electrocatalytic activities for hydroquinone oxidation where PPy chains could facilitate the electron transfer between molecular sieves and electrode surface. Three dihydroxybenzene isomers (hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol) have been successfully detected at PPy/SBA‐15 modified electrode by preconcentration of the analyte.     

Engineered mesoporous ionic‐modified γ‐Fe2O3@hydroxyapatite decorated with palladium nanoparticles and its catalytic properties in water

A new mesoporous organic–inorganic nanocomposite was formulated and then used as stabilizer and support for the preparation of palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs). The properties and structure of Pd NPs immobilized on prepared 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) chemically tagged on mesoporous γ‐Fe₂O₃@hydroxyapatite (ionic modified (IM)‐MHA) were investigated using various techniques. The synergistic effects of the combined properties of MHA, DABCO and Pd NPs, and catalytic activity of γ‐Fe₂O₃@hydroxyapatite‐DABCO‐Pd (IM‐MHA‐Pd) were investigated for the Heck cross‐coupling reaction in aqueous media. The appropriate surface area and pore size of mesoporous IM‐MHA nanocomposite can provide a favourable hard template for immobilization of Pd NPs. The loading level of Pd in the nanocatalyst was 0.51 mmol g^?1. DABCO bonded to the MHA surface acts as a Pd NP stabilizer and can also lead to colloidal stability of the nanocomposite in aqueous solution. The results reveal that IM‐MHA‐Pd is highly efficient for coupling reactions of a wide range of aryl halides with olefins under green conditions. The superparamagnetic nature of the nanocomposite means that the catalyst to be easily separated from solution through magnetic decantation, and the catalytic activity of the recycled IM‐MHA‐Pd showed almost no appreciable loss even after six consecutive runs.
