摘要

Fe3O4@polypyrrole (PPy) hollow capsules were prepared by hard-template method in a simple way, where construction of the PPy shell and formation of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were combined into one step. These hollow capsules could be used as supports for Pd nanoparticles. Fe3O4@PPy/Pd catalysts showed excellent catalytic activity and reusability towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.
