Additive-free N-methylation reaction synergistically catalyzed by Pt single atoms and clusters on α-MoC using methanol as a sustainable C1 source

Abstract

The synergistic effect of Pt single atoms and Pt clusters in the Pt1+n/α-MoC catalyst plays a leading role in reductive N-methylation process, successfully realizing the green process by only using methanol as both hydrogen source and methylation reagents.
