Abstract

In this work, we demonstrate a novel method that enables the fabrication of thiol-functionalized hierarchically porous materials (SH-HPMs) by combination of hyper-cross-linking and molecular templating of core-shell bottlebrush copolymers. Well-dispersed gold (Au) nanoparticles with an average size of 3.0 nm, synthesized by in situ reduction of HAuCl4, were then anchored into the SH-HPMs support, which showed remarkable catalytic performances on the reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol.
