Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing rhodium nanoparticles by a hydrothermal method and a reduction reaction of nitroarene using rhodium nanoparticles as a catalyst. The method for manufacturing rhodium nanoparticles, according to the present invention, is capable of easily controlling the process, reducing bad effects on the environments, and increasing industrial availability. The rhodium nanoparticles manufactured by the present invention can be recycled without the loss in catalyst activity, and can be efficiently used when reducing nitroarene from water.
