Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) supported on selenium and nitrogen co‐doped mesoporous carbon were prepared through pyrolysis of glucose, ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), and selenium dioxide (SeO2) as the carbon, nitrogen, and selenium sources, followed by a chemical reduction strategy. The synthesized Ag/m‐SeNC could catalyze the hydrogenation of a series of nitroaromatics to corresponding amines effectively in an aqueous solution in the presence of NaBH4 as a hydrogen donor. Besides, this heterogeneous nanocatalyst could be simply reused four successive times without significant reduction in activity and selectivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
