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

Abstract Herein, we designed and prepared a novel Fe/Fe 2 O 3 ‐based catalyst, in which a remarkable synergistic effect has been revealed between Fe and Fe 2 O 3 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.
