Cooperative ion-exchange and self-redox process to load catalytic metal nanoparticles into a MOF with Johnson-type cages.
Through a cooperative ion-exchange and self-redox process, a new MOF material with nanosized Johnson-type cages has successfully produced Pd- or Ag-NPs in its pores without any external reducing agents, leading to the formation of M-NP-embedded catalysts for the hydrogenation of styrene.
