Magnetic nanomaterials in catalysis: advanced catalysts for magnetic separation and beyond

While magnetic separation techniques have long been in use, intensive research into superparamagnetic nanomaterials has accelerated the development of magnetically recoverable catalysts. Preparation techniques are currently undergoing rapid development and magnetic separation has been studied to facilitate the handling and recovery of enzyme, organo-, metal complex-, and nanoparticle-catalysts. In this article, we emphasize the preparation of support materials, because the choice of the correct support and the immobilization strategy are of primary importance in the development of high-quality magnetically recoverable catalysts. We summarize the representative methods for the synthesis of well-defined uncoated…
