Abstract Inspired by the high accessibility and low diffusion limitations of fibrous silica nanoparticles (KCC‐1), fibrous phosphosilicate (FPS) was engineered using a microemulsion system. In this work, we report design and synthesis of high-surface-area FPS using tripolyphosphate (TPP) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The FPS nanocatalyst was thoroughly characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and N 2 adsorption/desorption study. Considering the large ionic internal character, high mechanical and thermal stability as well as long-term colloidal stability, this system could be considered as perfect nanocatalyst by using the host–guest approach. Then palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) supported on fibrous phosphosilicat to the cycloaddition of CO 2 to epoxides. Graphical abstract Image 1 Highlights • A new family of high surface area phosphosilicat nanosheet (FPS) with fibrous morphology was prepared. • Palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) supported on fibrous phosphosilicat. • FPS was characterized and employed as nanocatalyst to the cycloaddition of CO 2 to epoxides. • This system could be considered as perfect nanocatalyst by using the host–guest approach.
