| Research Abstract |
We developed highly active metal nanoparticle catalysts in green sustainable molecular transformations under liquid-phase conditions. Our strategy for achieving high catalytic performances is the design of cooperative catalysis between metal nanoparticles and their supports. The active metal centers and supports are able to cooperatively activate substrates, leading to unprecedented high performances under mild conditions. These metal nanoparticle catalysts exhibit outstanding activities in various important and fundamental chemoselective hydrogenations. Furthermore, we evolved the concept of metal-support cooperative catalysis, and devised novel core-shell nanocomposites as next-generation catalysts. The designed core-shell catalysts consisting of metal nanoparticles in the core and supports in the shell can maximize the metal-support cooperative interactions, exhibiting excellent selectivities for targeted products.
