Abstract
@rGO nanocomposites have been employed as a heterogeneous catalyst for three different catalytic reactions: (1) dehydrogenation of aqueous ammonia borane (AB); (2) hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds using ammonia borane as the hydrogen source, and (3) for the synthesis of aromatic azo derivatives. The present work illustrates the sustainable anchoring of metal nanoparticles over the surface of rGO nanosheets, which could be used for multifarious catalytic reactions.
