Popis: A facile room temperature one-pot synthesis of trimetallic porous Au@Pd@Ru nanoparticles (Au@Pd@RuNPs) has been developed. The trimetallic nanoparticles have been prepared by the successive sacrificial oxidation of cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs). The average particle size of Au@Pd@RuNPs is 110 nm. The porous nature and the presence of Au, Pd and Ru have been confirmed via TEM, FE-SEM and EDS analyses. The trimetallic nanoparticles have shown excellent catalytic activity towards the reduction of p-nitrophenol and efficient degradation of various azo dyes. This has been further extended towards the removal of colour from waste water via the catalytic degradation of azo dyes. Moreover, the produced amine can be eliminated from the waste water via its sorption on an industrial solid waste dolochar.
