High-Performance Heterogeneous Catalyst with High Water Dispersibility

High-Performance Heterogeneous Catalyst with High Water Dispersibility

Researchers from the Suzhou Key Laboratory of Green Chemical Engineering, Soochow University, and from the State Key Laboratory of Molecular Engineering of Polymers, Fudan University, develop a one-step, solvent-free method to prepare a high-performance heterogeneous catalyst. The cobalt-based catalyst is highly dispersible in water and is effective for the tandem sodium borohydride dehydrogenation and nitrobenzene hydrogenation at room temperature.
