Laser-induced Synthesis of Ultrafine Gold Nanoparticles in Covalent Organic Frameworks

Metal nanoparticles in porous supports are of great importance for catalysis, separation and sensing, but their controllable preparation is still largely unmet. Herein, we describe a simple laser-induced synthesis of ultrafine gold nanoparticles in the covalent organic framework. Gold nanoparticles are well embedded, and they are about (1±0.1) nm in size. This work is universal for the preparation of well-dispersed and ultrafine metal nanoparticles in porous supports.
