Natural Triterpenoid-Tailored Phosphate: In Situ Reduction of Heavy Metals Spontaneously to Generate Electrochemical Hybrid Gels.
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2018 May 24
In this work, we reported a biocompatible nature product-based soft material which could convert heavy metals to nanoparticles (NPs) in situ spontaneously in a simple step. We have designed and synthesized a natural triterpenoid-tailored phosphate (methyl glycyrrhetate phosphate (MGP)), and this amphiphilic MGP could form the stable hydrogel and extract gold salt from water, followed by spontaneous in situ AuNP formation without external reductants. Notably, the AuNPs were mainly localized on nanofibers instead of gel cavities, and the resulting MGP-AuNPs hybrid gel exhibited attractive electrocatalytic and conductive properties. In addition, as an efficient leaching extraction agent, MGP hydrogel showed higher affinity toward heavy metals over other common metals on account of the high reduction potential of heavy metals. Our work not only provides a novel yet simple way in generating electrochemical hybrid gels by in situ reduction of heavy metals spontaneously but also expands the application of nature product-based functional materials.
