  7. Abstract:
  8. In this research Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared. To protect against oxidation, a shell of SiO2 was deposited on Fe3O4. Graphene oxide was prepared by the modified Hummer method and supported on the Fe3O4@SiO2 core-shell. Then, ionic liquid layer was impregnated on it. Afterward, PtAu nano alloy were synthesized on the surface of nanocomposite with the different molar ration including 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100. The as-prepared nanocomposite was characterized by SEM, XRD, and FT-IR analytical methods.For investigation of kinetically activity of catalysts, reduction of 4-nitrophenol with NaBH4 as reducer was used. The adsorption in different times was obtained by UV-vis spectrophotometer and spectrum of reduction processes was gained. Bimetallic nanocomposites had better catalytic activity than monometallics. Also, the ratio of 75:25 Pt-Au with high value rate constant, had the best kinetically activity. Due to the linearity of the charts for various catalysts, kinetics of reaction proved to be first-order. The effect of reductant concentration, and amount of catalyst were studied. The obtained results illustrated that the rate constants increasing by increasing concentration of reductant and amount of nanocomposite
