Dual metal nanoparticles within multicompartmentalized mesoporous organosilicas for efficient sequential hydrogenation

Abstract

Controlling localization of multiple metal nanoparticles on a single support is at the cutting edge of designing innovatory cascade catalysts. Here, the authors report a multicompartmentalized mesoporous organosilica to spatially position different metal nanoparticles in intimate proximity for efficient sequential hydrogenation reactions.
