Keywords: Cobalt dicyanamide · self-template strategy · N-
activity toward hydrogenation of nitrobenzene under extremely
mild condition, which is 76-fold as high as the Co-DCDA-800
catalyst prepared by simple physical mixture. Furthermore, it
also performs a remarkable catalytic activity and selectivity for
various nitroaromatic derivatives. The findings open up a new
avenue to design and prepare efficient and robust non-noble
metal based M@NCNTs catalysts for fine chemicals transforma-
tion and clean energy production.
