Abstract

Nickel-based catalysts directing selectivity for nitroarenes reduction have drawn a lot of attention; yet, they have not yielded considerable accomplishments. Here, we report an environmentally friendly method for synthesizing a nickel-based carbon-supported nanocatalyst using lignin residues. The carbon-supported nickel nanoparticle catalysts generated from lignocellulosic biomass were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The present catalytic system not only shows outstanding performance with an excellent anilines output but also shows an environmentally friendly catalytic process with simple separation, easy operations, reuse and recycle.
