- Abstract
Synthesis and manufacturing of metal–organic framework derived carbon/metal oxide nanomaterials with an advisable porous structure and composition are essential as catalysts in various organic transformation processes for the preparation of environmentally friendly catalysts. In this work, we report a scalable synthesis of sulfur-doped porous carbon-containing copper oxide nanoparticles (marked CuxO@CS-400) via direct pyrolysis of a mixture of metal–organic framework precursor called HKUST-1 and diphenyl disulfide for aromatic nitro compounds reduction. X-ray diffraction, surface area analysis (BET), X-ray energy diffraction (EDX) spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, elemental mapping, infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscope, and scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) analysis were accomplished to acknowledge and investigate the effect of S and CuxO as active sites in heterogeneous catalyst to perform the reduction-nitro aromatic compounds reaction in the presence of CuxO@CS-400 as an effective heterogeneous catalyst. The studies showed that doping sulfur in the resulting carbon/metal oxide substrate increased the catalytic activity compared to the material without sulfur doping.
