Silver nanoparticles supported on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OA‐POSS) nanocrosslinked poly (ethylene glycol)‐based hydrogels (PEG 600 ‐POSS/Ag NPs) as novel nanohybrid catalysts were synthesized for the first time. The as‐prepared nanohybrid hydrogels were fully characterized by FT‐IR, SEM, EDX, XRD, TEM and TGA. PEG 600 ‐POSS/Ag NPs exhibited excellent catalytic performance for the reduction of 4‐nitrophenol (4‐NP) to 4‐aminophenol (4‐AP) in water at room temperature in the presence of borohydride.
