Key Points

The aim is to prepare and evaluate nickel-iron and nickel-cobalt catalysts on β-Mo2C for hydrogenation reactions.
Catalysts were synthesized using temperature programmed reduction (TPR) method.
NiFe and NiCo hydrotalcites were used as precursors for catalyst preparation.
Experiments were conducted under a nitrogen atmosphere.
Ni–Fe/β-Mo2C and Ni–Co/β-Mo2C catalysts showed promising activity for hydrogenation.
Both catalysts effectively reduced nitroarene and biomass-derived molecules, indicating high catalytic performance.

Implication

Demonstrates effective hydrogenation in nitroarene and biomass molecules, suggesting alternative catalyst technologies.

Abstract

First report on Ni–Fe and Ni–Co alloys on β-Mo2C (NFMC-1 and NCMC-1), which were prepared by temperature programmed reduction (TPR) method using molybdate-intercalated NiFe and NiCo hydrotalcites in the presence...
