Abstract

Bimetallic Pt–Rh nanoparticles can be deposited uniformly on surfaces of carboxylate functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) using a simple one-step sonochemical method. The bimetallic nanoparticle catalyst exhibits a strong synergistic effect relative to the individual Pt or Rh metal nanoparticles for catalytic hydrogenation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), neat benzene and alkylbenzenes. Complete ring saturation of PAHs can be achieved using the bimetallic Pt–Rh/MWNTs catalyst at room temperature. This one-step synthesis technique provides a simple and rapid way of making highly active and recyclable CNT-supported monometallic and bimetallic nanocatalysts for low temperature hydrogenation reactions.

NJC (New Journal of Chemistry) is a broad-based primary journal encompassing all branches of chemistry and its sub-disciplines. It contains full research articles, communications, perspectives and focus articles. This well-established journal, owned by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) of France, has been co-published with the Royal Society of Chemistry since January 1998. NJC is the forum for the publication of high-quality, original and significant work that opens new directions in chemistry or other scientific disciplines. In addition to having a significant chemical component, work published in NJC must demonstrate that it will have an impact on areas of research other than that of the reported work.
