Highly-efficient RuNi single-atom alloy catalysts toward chemoselective hydrogenation of nitroarenes

Abstract

Catalytic hydrogenation of available nitroarenes is an environmentally benign and recyclable approach to synthesize value-added amines. Here, the authors design a RuNi single atom alloy with host-dopant synergistic effect, which exhibits outstanding performance toward nitroarenes hydrogenation.
