Atomically dispersed iridium complexes were anchored on a reduced graphene aerogel (rGA) by the reaction of Ir(CO)₂(acac) [acac = acetonylacetonato] with oxygen-containing groups on the rGA. Characterization by X-ray absorption, infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies and atomic resolution aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy demonstrates atomically dispersed iridium, at the remarkably high loading of 14.8 wt %. The rGA support offers sites for metal bonding comparable to those of metal oxides, but with the advantages of high density and a relatively high degree of uniformity, as indicated by the same turnover frequencies for catalytic hydrogenation of ethylene at low and high iridium loadings. We note the atomic dispersion at a high metal loading—and the high density of catalytic sites per unit of reactor volume, a key criterion for practical catalysts—set this catalyst apart from those reported.
