In
this work, we designed a hybrid catalyst composed of a metal–organic
framework (MOF), Pt nanoparticles (NPs), and ferric oxide, namely,
Co-MOF-74@(Pt@Fe2O3), which enables not only
high turnover frequencies of up to 245.7 h–1 but
also ultrahigh 100% selectivity toward cinnamyl alcohol in the hydrogenation
of cinnamaldehyde under mild conditions. This excellent performance
is attributed to the fact that such a hybrid catalyst enables not
only strong steric constraint to provide the favored CO adsorption
of cinnamaldehyde but also strong metal–support interaction
to lower the electron density of Pt NPs.
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.
