Abstract

In this study, we demonstrated a noble Ag-decorated graphene oxide catalyst (GOSH-Ag) for use in the decarboxylative cycloaddition reaction. The catalyst was easily prepared by depositing Ag nanoparticles on thiolated graphene oxide (GOSH) surfaces. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the nanoparticles were well-dispersed and of a small, approximately 3.7 nm average size. These characteristics resulted in a high surface ...
