Polyurea (PU) spheres were prepared via reaction of CO2 with 1,4-butanediamine.
PU-supported metal catalysts including Pt/PU, Au/PU, Pd/PU were obtained.
Hydrogenation of o-chloronitrobenzene (o-CNB) catalyzed by Pt/PU was investigated.
Pt/PU displayed high efficiency for catalyzing o-CNB conversion to o-chloroaniline.
