Abstract

Copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) supported on diamond nanoparticles (D NPs) previously purified by Fenton treatment (Cu/D) followed by annealing with hydrogen (Cu/DH) are highly efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogenation of styrene to ethylbenzene with the minimum productivity value of 30617 cycles.
