Defect-mediated selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes on nanostructured WS2
Abstract
Colloidal 2H-WS2 nanostructures catalyze selective hydrogenation of substituted nitroarenes to anilines with molecular hydrogen, where sulfur vacancies and tungsten-terminated edges play key roles in enabling functional group selectivity.
