Comparison of alkene hydrogenation in carbon nanoreactors of different diameters: probing the effects of nanoscale confinement on ruthenium nanoparticle catalysis

The catalytic properties of ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) supported in carbon nanoreactors of different diameters – single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs, width of cavity 1.5 nm) and hollow graphitised nanofibers (GNFs, width of cavity 50-70 nm) – were evaluated using exploratory alkene hydrogenat...
