Abstract:
Although liquid-phase catalytic exchange is an environmentally friendly treatment of hydrogen isotopes in recycled water of a nuclear power station, the successive development of hydrophobic catalysts is still needed to meet much higher catalytic exchange efficiency and stability. Herein, a dual-modified graphene with Pt loading was designed by amination and silanization to anchor Pt nanoparticles uniformly, as well as obtain higher hydrophobicity. After coating the reactor walls with poly(dimethylsiloxane), the catalytic exchange efficiency of the dual-modified graphene with lower Pt loadings (Pt/200-S-NH2-GR) improved up to 91% at 80 °C, which was higher than 80% of only animated graphene (Pt/NH2-GR) at the same condition. Furthermore, the Pt/200-S-NH2-GR maintained high stability for at least 10 h in the temperature range of 40-80 °C, while the Pt/NH2-GR decreased 17% of catalytic exchange efficiency at 80 °C within 10 h. Using the dual-modified strategy for graphene support, high efficiency and stability was achieved for heavy water dedeuteration.

Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
