At ambient pressure, H2 can be dissociatively adsorbed by FeS2 nanoparticles, react with nitrobenzene, and selectively produce aniline. The catalytic activity for hydrogenation of nitrobenzene is comparable to most non-precious metal catalysts.en2046-2069RSC Advances2016605522055224Pyrite nanoparticles: An Earth-abundant mineral catalyst for activation of molecular hydrogen and hydrogenation of nitroaromaticsJournal Article10.1039/c6ra10785kOther
