Abstract:
Vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) is extensively utilized as a disinfectant. However, long-term exposure to VHP poses serious health risks to humans, necessitating the development of efficient VHP catalytic materials. Herein, reduced graphene oxide modified nickel foam-based quaternary layered double hydroxides nanosheets (LDHs/rGO/NF) were prepared for VHP decomposition. Comprehensive material characterizations confirm the successful fabrication of the LDHs/rGO heterogeneous structure. The LDHs/rGO/NF catalyst exhibits superior catalytic activity compared to LDHs/NF and rGO/NF and the VHP concentration is reduced to 1 ppm within 34 min. The enhanced VHP decomposition efficiency originates from the synergistic effect of LDHs and rGO. The electron transfer from rGO to LDHs is evidenced by electrochemical measurements. The introduction of rGO into LDHs/NF improves the reduction capacity of the catalyst, thus accelerating the redox cycle during VHP decomposition. Moreover, the LDHs/rGO/NF catalyst exhibits exceptional stability in multiple recycling tests, highlighting its potential application in the field of VHP disinfection.

02:13Reduction 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.

02:17Reduction 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...
02:24Reduction 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.
