Fe/Fe2O3@N‐dopped Porous Carbon: A High‐Performance Catalyst for Selective Hydrogenation of Nitro Compounds

Herein, we designed and prepared a novel Fe/Fe2O3‐based catalyst, in which a remarkable synergistic effect has been revealed between Fe and Fe2O3 encapsulated in N‐doping porous carbon. The Fe‐based catalysts were fabricated via pyrolysis a mixture of MIL‐101(Fe) and melamine. The catalyst exhibits exceptionally high catalytic activity (TOFs up to 8898 h−1 which is about 100 times higher than the similar kinds of catalysts) and chemoselectivity for nitroarene reduction under mild conditions. Catalysis magic! Fe‐based NPs catalyst encapsulated in N‐doping porous carbon exhibits high catalytic active (with TOF=8898 h−1 which is about 100 of times higher than the similar catalysts) and chemoselectivity for nitro compounds reduction.
