Article Synopsis
- Thousands of tons of coffee grounds are wasted annually, but they still contain caffeine (CAF), which can be used to reduce metal complexes.
- This study extracted CAF from coffee and used it to create eco-friendly rhenium nanoparticles (ReNPs) without toxic chemicals, featuring rhenium in +6 oxidation states.
- The resulting ReNPs were characterized and shown to effectively catalyze the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol, achieving complete conversion in 40-60 minutes with a high reaction rate.
