Fibrous catalyst based on atomic Pd and N-doped holey graphene functionalized cotton fiber for continuous-flow reaction.

Continuous-flow catalysis bridges the gap between bench-scale laboratories and production-scale factories and thus should be a green and promising technology for the manufacture of value-added chemicals. Here, we present the construction of a continuous-flow catalytic system by integrating a tubular reactor with novel catalytic fibers, which are comprised of single-atomic Pd (Pd) and nitrogen-doped holey graphene (NHG) functionalized cotton fibers (CFs). Due to the loosely packed structure, highly exposed dual-active sites (i.
