Sulfur Vacancy-Promoted Highly Selective Electrosynthesis of Functionalized Aminoarenes via Transfer Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes with H2O over a Co3S4- x Nanosheet Cathode

Yige Zhao et al.

Summary: A selective hydrogenation strategy utilizing H2O as the hydrogen source, combined with the design of sulfur vacancies, has been demonstrated to be highly efficient in converting nitroarenes to aminoarenes at low potential using Ti mesh-supported Co3S4 ultrathin nanosheets. This method shows outstanding selectivity and compatibility with highly reducible functional groups.
