Ultrafine PdCo bimetallic nanoclusters confined in N-doped porous carbon for the efficient semi-hydrogenation of alkynes

Abstract

Semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to prepare alkenes is an important reaction in the petrochemical and fine chemical industries. Use of conventional Pd nanoparticle-based catalysts is limited by alkyne over-hydrogenation and low...

Unraveling Transfer Hydrogenation Mechanisms by Ammonia Borane to Alkenes over Self-Healing Copper Nanoparticles: The Complementary Role of N–H Bond, Surface, and Solvent

“…Catalytic hydrogenations are an important class of reactions with many applications in several industrial sectors such as the food industry, , petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, material science, and energy production . Hydrogenation of olefins and aromatics toward their saturated derivatives is often at the core of chemical industrial processes to increase the commercial values of different chemical products. − These processes are generally carried out at high temperatures and, depending on the application, can be performed in the gas or liquid phase using pressurized H 2 .…”
