- Abstract
RuCu nanocages and core-shell Cu@Ru nanocrystals with ultrathin Ru shells were first synthesized by a one-pot modified galvanic replacement reaction. The construction of bimetallic nanocrystals with fully exposed precious atoms and a high surface area effectively realizes the concept of high atom-efficiency. Compared with the monometallic Ru/C catalyst, both the RuCu nanocages and Cu@Ru core-shell catalysts supported on commercial carbon show superior catalytic performance for the regioselective hydrogenation of quinoline toward 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. RuCu nanocages exhibit the highest activity, achieving up to 99.6% conversion of quinoline and 100% selectivity toward 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline.
