Reduced graphene oxide as a catalyst for hydrogenation of nitrobenzene at room temperature

Reduced graphene oxide was used as a catalyst for reduction of nitrobenzene at room temperature. High catalytic activity and stability were exhibited in circular experiments. The catalytic procedure was in situ monitored by NMR and N-phenylhydroxylamine was proved to be the intermediate in this cata...

Description
Summary:Reduced graphene oxide was used as a catalyst for reduction of nitrobenzene at room temperature. High catalytic activity and stability were exhibited in circular experiments. The catalytic procedure was in situ monitored by NMR and N-phenylhydroxylamine was proved to be the intermediate in this catalytic reaction.
