▎ 摘　　要

Catalytic reduction of nitroaromatic compounds (NCs) into corresponding aminoaromatic compounds (ACs) addresses two challenges: enhancing of the manufacture scale of ACs as valuable chemical intermediates and removal of NCs as widespread wastewater pollutants. Among the noble metal catalysts that feature low-temperature activity, chemical stability, and nontoxicity, silver-containing catalysts are attractive as cost-efficient and easily prepared compositions. This paper is devoted to the design and study of efficient and environmentally benign Ag- and CeO2-containing NCs reduction catalysts supported on graphene oxide (GO). The silver- and/or ceria-containing catalysts are synthesized using deposition-precipitation onto GO prepared by oxidative treatment of graphite. The catalysts and support are characterized by XRD, XPS, TGA, N-2 sorption, Raman spectroscopy, and UV-VIS spectrometry. The influence of state and the interaction of the active components on catalytic activity is thoroughly estimated in 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction into 4-aminophenol (4-AP) at ambient pressure and room temperature. Nanosized Ag and CeO2 particles with sizes up to 30 and 5 nm, respectively, in the GO structure are obtained. The co-deposition of Ag and CeO2 onto GO promotes the stabilization of silver in the catalyst. The Ag-CeO2/GO catalyst demonstrates superior activity in the synthesized series (k(app) of 1.615 and 3.674 min(-1) for as-prepared and pre-reduced samples). In addition, the Ag-CeO2/GO catalyst retains good stability and a low leaching degree of the active components that makes these compositions efficient in NCs' reduction into corresponding ACs.
