Interfacial coupling of transition-metal composites with nitrogen-doped carbon as efficient catalysts of hydrogenation of nitro compounds

Interfacial bonds in catalysts play a key role in the hydrogenation of nitro compounds. The developed Cr 2 O 3 /NC, Mo 2 C/NC, V 2 O 3 /NC and WO x /NC catalysts show impressive performances for nitro compounds hydrogenation.
