Abstract
The electrolytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene (NB) was studied by mea
ns of a hydrogen-storage alloy electrode. It has been found that hydro
gen-storage alloy is an effective electrode for the conversion of nitr
obenzene to aniline. The aniline yield and average current efficiency
can reach 90%. The beta hydride phase shows catalytic activity for the
electrolytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene, mainly resulting from its
ample absorbed hydrogen atoms and favorable structure. (C) 1998 Elsev
