CdSnO3/SnD NPs as a Nanocatalyst for Carbonylation of o-Phenylenediamine with CO2

In order to carbonize o-phenylenediamine with CO2, an effective approach was used with UV light irradiation by Sn(IV) doping DFNS (SnD) supported CdSnO3 as a catalyst (CdSnO3/SnD). In this catalyst, SnD with the ratios of Si/Sn in the range of 6 to 50 were obtained using the Direct Hydrothermal Synthesis (DHS), and the nanoparticles of CdSnO3 on the surfaces of SnD were reduced in situ. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were utilized for characterizing CdSnO3/SnD. It was found that CdSnO3/SnD nanostructures could be used for synthesizing o-phenylenediamines due to their effective and novel catalytic behavior through the reaction between o-phenylenediamines and CO2.
