Abstract
RuCu nanocages and core–shell CuRu nanocrystals with ultrathin Ru shells were first synthesized by a onepot modified galvanic replacement reaction The construction of bimetallic nanocrystals with fully exposed precious atoms and a high surface area effectively realizes the concept of high atomefficiency Compared with the monometallic Ru/C catalyst both the RuCu nanocages and CuRu core–shell catalysts supported on commercial carbon show superior catalytic performance for the regioselective hydrogenation of quinoline toward 1234tetrahydroquinoline RuCu nanocages exhibit the highest activity achieving up to 996 conversion of quinoline and 100 selectivity toward 1234tetrahydroquinoline
