Bimetallic Ag–Ru/γ‐Al ₂ O ₃ nanoparticles for selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde to hydrocinnamaldehyde

Abstract

This work reports an efficient co-catalyst of AgRu nanoparticles supported on γ-Al 2 O 3 for highly selective hydrogenation of the C=C bond of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) at 443 K, uncovering a catalytic route for selective hydrocinnamaldehyde production from the CAL. This kind of chemo-selectivity of AgRu/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst seems unique since any competitive hydrogenation at the conjugated C=O bond was significant.

Elucidation of the Anodization and Silver Incorporation Impact on the Surface Properties of AA1050 Aluminum Alloy

“…27,28 The catalytic properties, inherent for silver and its apparent chemical resistivity have opened another main field of intensive research activities on efficient and durable catalytic silver films, [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] and especially Ag/Al 2 O 3 conjunctions. 36,37 These properties are successfully applied for the environmental protection by contaminant gas reduction. [38][39][40][41] Another distinctive beneficial effect of this metal is related to its apparent bactericide properties, [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] especially against antibiotic resistant strains.…”
