title: Core-shell AgNP@CeO2 nanocomposite catalyst for highly chemoselective reductions of unsaturated aldehydes.
abstract: Selective silver: A core-shell AgNP-CeO2 nanocomposite (AgNP@CeO2) acted as an effective catalyst for the chemoselective reductions of unsaturated aldehydes to unsaturated alcohols with H2 (see figure). Maximizing the AgNP-CeO2 interaction successfully induced the heterolytic cleavage of H2, resulting in highly chemoselective reductions. Furthermore, a highly dispersed AgNP@CeO2 system was also developed that exhibited a higher activity than the original AgNP@CeO2.
