title: Flower-like RuCu nanodendrites as catalysts for hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol with β-cyclodextrin as promoters.
abstract: Flower-like ruthenium-copper (RuCu) nanodendrites were readily synthesized by RuCl3·xH2O and CuCl with oleylamine as the reducing agent, stabilizer and solvent. The nanodendrites contained various small particles and demonstrated efficient catalytic ability in the hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol as a model reaction. Notably, by adding β-cyclodextrin, the reaction rate can be greatly enhanced.
