Abstract
- [Display omitted] Catalytic hydrogenation reduction provides a potential route to detoxify nitro compounds. Spinel NiFe 2 O 4 (NiFeO) serves as a natural abundance and low-cost catalyst but suffers from low catalytic activity due to poor redox nature and limited active sites. Herein, defective MNiFeO (M = Cu, Zn, Co, Mn) nanorods (NRs) were synthesized by pyrolysis of cation-exchanged Fe 2 Ni-MOFs. The introduction of M modified the electronic structure of NiFeO and thus accelerated the electron transfer and proton transport in the hydrogenation of nitro aromatics. CuNiFeO exhibited the highest catalytic activity with a turn frequency of 2.89 × 105h−1, giving 308- and 422-fold larger than that of NiFeO-V o and NiFeO in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). CuNiFeO NRs also presented exceptional performances in the reduction of the other nitroarenes. The remarkable improvement in activity of mesoporous CuNiFeO may be attributed to its ternary composites, and increased oxygen vacancies. This work not only provides a simple route to constructing mesoporous MNiFeO NRs with oxygen vacancies, but also further discusses the effects of metal component and oxygen defects in the catalytic reduction of 4-NP.
