Abstract
Ethanol is regarded as a promising and green hydrogen donor due to its easy and large-scale production from abundant biomass resources. In this work, a nitrogen-doped carbon-encapsulated Co catalyst (Co@NC-800) was synthesized by a simple pyrolysis process and demonstrated promising activity in the hydrodeoxygenation of sulfoxides and pyridine N-oxides, producing sulfide and pyridine with good yields ranging from 80.3 to 99.0%. Moreover, the activity of the Co@NC-800 catalyst remained stable after 5 runs, indicating good stability.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
