The selective hydrogenation of carbonyl groups of the conjugated carbonyl compounds is an important reaction in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and several selective hydrogenation approaches have been developed. Using stoichiometric hydrides (LiA1H4, NaBH4, etc.) as hydrogenation reagents has some shortcomings, including the unsatisfied selectivity of target product owing to the simultaneous hydrogenation of conjugated double bonds and carbonyl groups, as well as the flammability and explosibility of hydrides. Hydrogen is an alternative hydrogenation reagent, which can selec- tively hydrogenate carbonyl groups by homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic processes. The noble metal (Ru, Pd, etc.) complexes were usually used in the homogeneous catalytic process, which caused some serious issues such as the metal resi- dues in products and the difficulties of recovering precious catalysts. These problems can be effectively solved by the hetero- geneous catalytic process using the supported catalysts. Carbon-based materials, metal oxides and ,/?-Zeolite are commonly used supports. Among them, carbon-based materials are preferable due to "~heir features of abundant morphologies and struc- tures, good stability, adjustable specific surface areas and pore structures, easy doping, etc. Interestingly, the introduction of heteroatoms into carbon matrix can provide a plenty of anchoring sites to disperse catalytically active species and regulate the interaction between active species and support, and hence promotes their catalytic properties. In addition, the high specific surface areas of the supports are beneficial to the dispersion of the catalytically active species. In recent years, our group has developed hierarchical carbon-based nanocages by in situ MgO template method. The mesostructured nanocages feature the high specific surface area, coexisting micro-meso-macropore structure, rich defects, easy doping, etc., which demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance in energy conversion and s
