TRANSITION METAL CATALYST SUPPORTED BY MEANS OF NITROGEN-DOPED CARBON

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing a transition metal catalyst supported by means of nitrogen-doped carbon, comprising the steps: a) producing a nitrogen-doped carbon, comprising the steps: i) providing a composition comprising a reducing carbohydrate and a nitrogen-containing compound selected from the group consisting of amino acids, oligopeptides, proteins and mixtures thereof, ii) hydrothermally carbonising the composition according to step i), iii) carrying out a thermal carbonising at a temperature in the range from 500°C to 1100°C, b) applying an aqueous composition onto the nitrogen-doped carbon produced according to step a), wherein the aqueous composition comprises a water-soluble transition metal compound. The invention also relates to a transition metal catalyst supported by means of nitrogen-doped carbon, which can be obtained in accordance with the method according to the invention, and the use thereof in the hydrogenation of a substrate.
