ABSTRACT

Abstract In the present research, magnetically recyclable graphene oxide (GO)/dopamine hydrochloride/AuNPs nanocatalyst are prepared by a green path with Acorus calamus seeds extract as a stabilizing and reducing agent and its catalytic efficiency was used for the reduction of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) in the presence of NaBH4 as a reducing agent in the aqueous medium in the ambient conditions. The prepared nanocatalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The prepared nanocatalyst has good catalytic activity and can be regain by an external magnet and recycled several times without considerable loss of its catalytic activity in the process of reduction of organic dyes.
