Article Synopsis
- Aromatic and aliphatic amines, crucial for making drugs, dyes, and agrochemicals, are typically derived from nitro compounds but need harsh conditions to convert them.
- The research introduces an eco-friendly method using an electrochemical process in a membrane reactor that produces hydrogen from water, allowing for easier conversion of nitro compounds to amines.
- This new approach, using a specially modified palladium membrane, can efficiently hydrogenate a variety of nitro compounds at room temperature and without toxic additives, while tolerating high reagent concentrations.
Industrial hydrogenation consumes ~11 Mt of fossil-derived H2 gas yearly. Our group invented a membrane reactor to bypass the need to use H2 gas for hydrogenation chemistry. The membrane reactor sources hydrogen from water and drives reactions using renewable electricity.
