TL;DR: Gold nanoparticles deposited on nanocrystalline magnesium oxide is a very efficient catalyst for the reduction of nitro-arenes in aqueous medium at room temperature as discussed by the authors, and the reaction kinetics of reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol has been studied by UV-visible spectrophotometry, and its apparent rate constant has been determined and compared with those of other supported gold catalysts.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Ni-nanoparticles supported on MgO promoted nanocrytalline zinc oxide catalyst was prepared by hydrothermal method in presence of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.

TL;DR: Immobilized metal ion-containing ionic liquid catalysts were prepared by the reaction between silyl-functionalized imidazolium ionic molecules and surface silanol groups of silica and only the immobilized copper catalyst was very active for the Kharasch reaction between styrene and CCl4.

TL;DR: In this article, a new synthesis strategy was developed to prepare 2-5 nm metallic silver nanoparticles supported on tungsten oxide (WO3) nanorods with diameters between 30 and 40 nm, in the presence of cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide: CTAB), capping agent (polyvinylpyrrolidone: PVP), and hydrazine.
