Abstract

Ru/Co/Co₃O₄/C (Ru nanoclusters-on-Co/Co₃O₄ nanoparticles) has an unexpected enhancement of activity for benzene hydrogenation which is about 2500 times higher than Ru–Co nanoalloy/C. Detailed nanostructure characterization of Ru/Co/Co₃O₄/C has revealed that the high activity originates from a synergetic multifunction of the catalytic Ru, Co and Co₃O₄ sites on the nanocluster/nanoparticle surfaces.
