Abstract

Abstract

A series of boron doped reduced graphene oxide catalysts were prepared and applied to anthracene hydrogenation. The results show that, with the change of the treatment temperature of the catalyst, the ordered carbon structure in the catalyst changed and boron replaced the carbon in the material skeleton, which affected the adsorption and activation of anthracene and hydrogen. After boron doping, the catalyst showed higher activity for anthracene hydrogenation reaction, the highest conversion of anthracene was up to 97%, and the highest selectivity of deep hydrogenation product octahydroanthracene was up to 19%.
