Area of Science:

  • Materials Science and Engineering
  • Green Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Development of sustainable and efficient catalysts is crucial for green chemistry.
  • Biomass waste valorization offers a sustainable source for advanced materials.
  • Nanoparticle catalysts require robust supports for stability and reusability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize a novel hybrid catalyst using date palm biomass waste.
  • To evaluate the catalytic performance of the hybrid catalyst in the hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol.
  • To explore the catalyst's applicability in the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde.

Main Methods:

  • Date palm biomass was oxidized and derivatized to create a cellulosic support.
  • Cobalt nanoparticles were immobilized onto the functionalized cellulose.
  • Characterization using FT-IR, NMR, XRD, SEM, TEM, ICP, and XPS.
  • Catalytic evaluation via hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol and cinnamaldehyde.

Main Results:

  • The hybrid catalyst demonstrated high efficiency in 4-nitrophenol hydrogenation, achieving complete conversion in 7 minutes.
  • The catalyst exhibited a high rate constant (K = 8.7 × 10-3 s-1) and was recycled for eight cycles.
  • Promising results were obtained for cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation, showing high conversion and selectivity towards cinnamyl alcohol.

Conclusions:

  • A cost-effective and sustainable hybrid catalyst was successfully developed from date palm waste.
  • The catalyst offers excellent performance for the reduction of nitroaromatics and unsaturated aldehydes under mild conditions.
  • This work highlights the potential of biomass-derived materials in catalysis.
