Abstract:Reducing p‐nitrophenol (PNP) to p‐aminophenol is an industrially relevant synthesis. Nevertheless, only a few heterogeneous catalysts have been evaluated for the reduction of PNP by glycerol. Appropriate quantum computational studies can screen potential catalysts for this crucial green reaction. The present research investigates the catalytic activities of Pd@Ag and Ni@Ag core‐shell nanogeometries toward PNP reduction by glycerol through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The central atom of a geom… Show more
