2-D porous Ni3N-Co3N hybrids derived from ZIF-67/Ni(OH)(2) sheets as a magnetically separable catalyst for hydrogenation reactions

2-D porous Ni3N-Co3N hybrids were prepared by initial controllable growth of ZIF-67 on Ni(OH)(2) sheets followed by nitridation. The synergistic nitridation of Ni(OH)(2) and ZIF-67, is demonstrated to be important for the formation of 2-D porous hybrids that can be used as a magnetically separable catalyst for hydrogenation reactions.
