Metal-free catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol by N-doped graphene
Abstract
The metal-free catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (Nip) to 4-aminophenol (Amp) mediated by N-doped graphene (NG) was reported. Nip could be reduced to Amp completely without any by-product generation. The activity of the NG is comparable with some of the previously reported metallic catalysts. Interestingly, the NG sheet catalyzed reaction follows pseudo-zero-order kinetics, while all the metallic catalysts follow pseudo-first-order kinetics. The in situ FTIR experiment demonstrated that Nip ions will combine with NG via the O atoms of their hydroxyl groups. Theoretical calculations verified this adsorption model, and confirmed that the adsorption of Nip ions is the critical step, leading to the pseudo-zero-order kinetics. Moreover, only the carbon atoms next to the doped N atoms on NG surface can be activated, serving as the active sites. As expected, all four kinds of the doped N atoms are beneficial to the adsorption and activation of Nip, contributing to the catalytic reduction reaction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
