Abstract

Abstract : The transfer of catalytic function from molybdenum carbide to N-doped carbon for catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to p -aminophenol. Abstract : The transfer of catalytic function from molybdenum carbide to N-doped carbon has been tested by encapsulating molybdenum carbide with N-doped carbon using a one-pot preparation process. The outer layer of N-doped carbon, inert itself, exhibits high activity and excellent selectivity with molybdenum carbide as the catalyst for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to p -aminophenol in sulfuric acid.
