摘要
The adsorption of poly （ethylene oxide）-b-poly（4-vinylpyridine）（PEO-b-P4VP） micelles onto the surface of yttrium hydroxide nanotubes （YNTs） resulted in the hybrid nanotubes with a dense P4VP inner layer and a stretched PEO outer layer surrounding YNTs. The dense P4VP layer was further stabilized by the crosslinking using 1,4-dibromobutane as the crosslinker. Then, the crosslinked hybrid nanotubes （CHNTs） were used as a novel nano supporter for loading the catalyst gold nanoparticles （GNPs） within the crosslinked P4VP layer. The resultant GNPs/CHNTs （GNTs loaded on CHNTs） were applied to catalyze the reduction reaction of p-nitrophenol. The results indicate that this novel nano supporter has advantages such as good dispersity in the suspension, high capacity in loading GNPs （0.87 mmol/g）, high catalytic activity of the loaded GNPs （12.9 μmol-lmin-i）, and good reusability of GNTs/CHNTs.
