SURFACE MODIFICATION OF CATALYSTIC SURFACE BY ORGANIC MOLECULES AND METAL CATIONS FOR SELECTIVE CATALYSIS

摘要

An article and method of manufacture of a catalyst. The article includes a nanoparticle of a noble metal based on material with a primary alkylamine layer disposed on the surface of the nanoparticle catalyst. The alkylamine layer of at least about one monolayer establishes a minimum level of selectivity for hydrogenation reactions.
