Abstract
A novel Co/Ni bimetallic nanoparticle supported by nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC), Co5/Ni@NPC-700, exhibits high conversion, chemoselectivity, and recyclability in the hydrogenation of 16 different nitro compounds into desired amines with hydrazine hydrate under mild conditions. The synergistic effects of Co/Ni bimetal nanoparticles and the NPC-supported porous honeycomb structure with more accessible active sites may be responsible for the high catalytic hydrogenation performance.
