Abstract

Abstract: An efficient and simple process for the preparation of stable nanocopper (0) on alumina [Cu (0)/Al2O3] from the inorganic composite precursor copper aluminum hydrotalcite (Cu-AlHT) by a chemical reduction method is described. Cu (0)/Al2O3 was employed as an efficient catalyst in the acceptor-and oxidant-free dehydrogenation of various amines and alcohols to their corresponding dehydrogenated products in good to ...
