Abstract:
A hydrogenation catalyst and a method of hydrogenating a hydrocarbon compound as a substrate using the same are provided. The hydrogenation catalyst includes inorganic nanoparticles and a nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide support for supporting the inorganic nanoparticles, and the hydrocarbon compound is derived from a biomass and contains a functional group. Therefore, the hydrogenation catalyst which exhibits a high conversion rate and high selectivity, is stable, and can be easily separated after a hydrogenation reaction, and whose catalytic activities are not significantly altered even when recovered and repeatedly recycled can be provided. The method of hydrogenating a hydrocarbon compound in which hydrogen can be directly produced in a reactor using formic acid as a hydrogen source without supplying additional hydrogen gas and simultaneously be used under normal pressure can also be provided.
