Highly-dispersed and size-controlled ruthenium nanoparticles on carbon nanofibers: Preparation, characterization, and catalysis
Facile synthesis of ruthenium nanoparticles supported on the carbon nanotibers (CNFs) is accomplished by thermal decomposition of Ru-3 (CO)(12); ruthenium species on the platelet-type CNF are dispersed homogeneously and selectively on the edge of the graphite layers with narrow size distributions and behaves as an excellent catalyst for arene hydrogenation.
