Ceria (CeO 2 ) nanorods with well-defined surface planes can be synthesized and utilized for the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics. The CeO 2 nanorods containing a {110} plane can efficiently and selectively catalyse the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics with N 2 H 4 as a reducing agent, while nano-ceri...

Description
Summary:Ceria (CeO 2 ) nanorods with well-defined surface planes can be synthesized and utilized for the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics. The CeO 2 nanorods containing a {110} plane can efficiently and selectively catalyse the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics with N 2 H 4 as a reducing agent, while nano-ceria with a {100} or {111} plane shows poor performance for the reaction.
