Abstract
Herein, we report that Pd nanoparticles (NPs) anchored on graphitic nitride carbon (Pd/g-C3N4) catalysts with various Pd contents (1.55 wt%, 0.14 wt%, 0.04 wt%) are successfully prepared via a simple NaBH4 reduction method, exhibiting excellent catalytic activity and selectivity toward 4-aminophenol (4-AP) in 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) selective hydrogenation. 4-NP is completely converted to 4-AP (yield ∼ 100%) under quite moderate reaction conditions (40 °C, 2.0 MPa H2 and 5 min) over the 1.55 wt% Pd/g-C3N4 catalyst, with a high reaction rate r = 134.4 mol4-NP molPd-1 min-1. The excellent catalytic performance can be attributed to the following reasons: (1) a higher ratio of Pd(0)/Pdn+ provides much more exposed active sites for the potential adsorption and activation of the reactants, which is beneficial for increasing the reaction rate and catalytic activity; (2) Pd NPs are highly dispersed on g-C3N4 due to the strong interaction of Pd-N or Pd-C; (3) the interfacial synergism effect between Pd NPs and g-C3N4 enables the effective adsorption and activation of H2 (4-NP) at Pd (g-C3N4), promoting the catalytic hydrogenation of 4-NP and improving their catalytic properties. In addition, this catalyst has superior reusability.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of novel platinum-based nanoparticles with step-pyramidal growth induced by poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). The complex stepped pyramidal shape became the central point for outstanding catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol, overcoming the activity of bare Pt nanoparticles. These results are valuable for the catalytic degradation of reactive molecules.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have attracted extensive attention in the past few years due to their unique properties and great potential application in catalysis. However, the application of AuNPs remains a significant challenge due to the lack of high efficiency and stability caused by aggregation. Immobilization of AuNPs on appropriate support shows promising results in avoiding aggregation and improving catalytic activity. In this work, reduced graphene oxide/chitosan/gold nanoparticles (rGO/CHS/AuNPs) composites were prepared using chitosan with different molecular weights (MW) as a reducing agent and stabilizer, and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, XPS, SEM, FESEM, EDS, TEM, HRTEM, and TGA. The preparation conditions of rGO/CHS/AuNPs composites, including chitosan MW, CHS/GO mass ratio, reaction temperature and time, and HAuCl4 concentration were investigated in detail. The results indicated that reduction activity of chitosan for GO increased with the decrease of chitosan MW. The C/O ratio of rGO reduced by low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC) with viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) of 21 kDa was 6.34. Small spherical AuNPs were uniformly immobilized on the rGO surface. The particle size of AuNPs increased from 9.29 to 13.03 nm as chitosan MW decreased from 465 to 21 kDa. The rGO/CHS/AuNPs showed good catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-NP in the presence of NaBH4. The catalytic activity of rGO/CHS/AuNPs was closely related to chitosan MW. rGO/CHS/AuNPs synthesized by LMWC with Mv of 21 kDa showed the highest kinetic rate constant of 0.2067 min-1. The results of this experimental study could be useful in the development of effective catalysts for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds.

Abstract
Hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions are one of the pillars of the chemical industry, with applications from bulk chemicals to pharmaceuticals manufacturing. The ability to selectively add hydrogen across double and (or) triple bonds is key in the chemist’s toolbox and the enabling component in the development of sustainable processes. Traditional solution-based approaches to these reactions are tainted by significant consumption of energy and production of solvent waste. This review highlights the development and applications of recently emerged solvent-free approaches to conduct the hydrogenation of organic molecules using mechanochemistry, i.e., chemical transformations induced or sustained by mechanical force. In particular, we will show mechanochemical techniques such as ball-milling enabled catalytic or stoichiometric metal-mediated hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions that are simple, fast, and conducted under significantly milder conditions compared with traditional solution routes. Importantly, we highlight the current challenges and opportunities in this field, while also identifying exciting cases in which mechanochemical hydrogenation strategies lead to new, unique targets and reactivity.

Sea-Island-Like Morphology of CuNi Bimetallic Nanoparticles Uniformly Anchored on Single Layer Graphene Oxide as a Highly Efficient and Noble-Metal-Free Catalyst for Cyanation of Aryl Halides.

Abstract
Aryl nitriles are versatile compounds that can be synthesized via transition-metal-mediated cyanation of aryl halides. Most of the supported-heterogeneous catalysts are noble-metals based and there are very limited numbers of efficient non-noble metal based catalysts demonstrated for the cyanation of aryl halides. Herein, bimetallic CuNi-oxide nanoparticles supported graphene oxide nanocatalyst (CuNi/GO-I and CuNi/GO-II) has been demonstrated as highly efficient system for the cyanation of aryl halides with K4[Fe(CN)6] as a cyanating agent. Metal-support interaction, defect ratio and synergistic effect with the bimetallic nanocatalyst were investigated. To our delight, the CuNi/GO-I system activity transformed a wide range of substrates such as aryl iodides, aryl bromides, aryl chlorides and heteroaryl compounds (Yields: 95-71%, TON/TOF: 50-38/2 h-1). Moreover, enhanced catalytic performance of CuNi/GO-I and CuNi/GO-II in reduction of 4-nitropehnol with NaBH4 was also confirmed (kapp = 18.2 × 10-3 s-1 with 0.1 mg of CuNi/GO-I). Possible mechanism has been proposed for the CuNi/GO-I catalyzed cyanation and reduction reactions. Reusability, heterogeneity and stability of the CuNi/GO-I are also found to be good.

Abstract
Rhodium nanoclusters were uniformly dispersed on nano-scaled graphene platelets by a simple ‘mix and heat’ method without using any toxic reagents. Distilled water was used to obtain the homogenous dispersion of Rh-nanoclusters on graphene platelets. The morphology of the resultant catalyst (Rh(0)NCs/GNPs) was studied by means of transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) analyses. The X-ray photoemission spectroscope (XPS) result confirmed the metallic form of Rh-nanoclusters in Rh(0)NCs/GNPs. The crystalline property and the interaction between Rh-nanoclusters and graphene platelets (GNPs) were studied by means of XRD and Raman analysis. The Rh-loading in Rh(0)NCs/GNPs was confirmed by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectroscope (SEM-EDS) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscope (ICP-MS) analysis. After being optimized, the Rh(0)NCs/GNPs used as catalyst for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol with NaBH4 and the Sonogashira coupling reaction between iodobenzene with phenylacetylene. To our delight, the Rh(0)NCs/GNPs showed excellent catalytic activity towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol with an excellent turnover frequency (TOF) value of 112.5 min−1. The kapp and k’ values were calculated to be 62.07 × 10−3 min−1(0.002 mg of Rh(0)NCs/GNPs) and 31035 × 10−3 mg−1 min−1,respectively. Alike, under the optimal conditions, the Rh(0)NCs/GNPs gave the desired product, diphenylacetylene, in a good yield of 87% with 91% selectivity. The Rh(0)NCs/GNPs can be reused without significant loss in its catalytic activity.

Abstract
In this study, a very simple and highly effective mechanochemical preparation method was developed for the preparation of Ni nanoparticles supported graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites (Ni/GO, where Ni is a composition of Ni(OH)2, NiOOH, NiO, Ni2O3 and NiO2), 3 wt% NiO/GO (Ni/GO-1) and 8 wt% NiO/GO(Ni/GO-2). The developed method is not only very simple and efficient, but also, the morphology of Ni/GO nanocomposites can be tuned by simply varying the metal loading. Morphology and specific surface area of the resultant Ni/GO nanocomposites were investigated by mean of AFM, HR-TEM and BET. Chemical sate and factual content of Ni in Ni/GO-1 and Ni/GO-2, and the presence of defective sites in Ni-nanocomposites were investigated in detail. To our delight, the prepared Ni/GO-2 demonstrated superior catalytic activity toward the reduction of 2- and 4-nitrophenol in water with high rate constant (kapp) of 35.4 × 10−3 s−1. To the best of our knowledge, this is the best efficient Ni-based graphene nanocomposites for the reduction of 2- and 4-NP reported to date. The Ni/GO-1 and Ni/GO-2 demonstrated an excellent reusability; no loss in its catalytic activity was noticed, even after 10th cycle. Surprisingly the Ni/GO-2 as electrode material exhibited an excellent specific capacitance of 461 F/g in 6 M KOH at a scan rate of 5 mV. Moreover, the Ni/GO nanocomposites were found to possess poor electrical resistance and high stability (no significant change in the specific capacitance even after 1000 cycles).

Abstract
Herein, highly branched Pt@Ag core-shell nanoparticles (Pt@Ag NPs) were fabricated by a facile one-pot wet-chemical approach, where poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) served as structure-directing and capping agents. Their structure, morphology and composition were mainly characterized by a set of techniques. And their growth mechanism was discussed in some detail. The prepared catalyst exhibited remarkable enhancement in catalytic activity of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction as a proof-of-concept application, surpassing commercial Pt black and home-made Ag NPs catalysts. Also, the as-obtained catalyst showed superior stability without sacrificing the catalytic activity. These observations endow the catalyst possibility for practical applications in nitrophenols environmental remediation.
