Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Metal-support cooperative catalysts were developed for sustainable and environmentally benign molecular transformations. The active metal centers and supports in these catalysts could cooperatively activate substrates, resulting in high catalytic performance for liquid-phase reactions under mild conditions. To increase the metal-support cooperative effect, core-shell nano-structured catalysts consisting of metal nanoparticles in the core and metal oxide supports in the shell were designed. These core-shell nanocomposite catalysts exhibited superior performance than conventional supported metal nanoparticle catalysts. In addition, these solid catalysts could be recovered easily from the reaction mixture by simple filtration, and were reusable with high catalytic activity.
