Graphene obtained by pyrolysis of alginate at 900 °C under inert atmosphere and exfoliation is used as a metal‐free catalyst for reduction of nitro to amino groups with hydrogen as a reagent. The process is general for aromatic and aliphatic, conjugated and isolated nitro groups, and occurs with low selectivity over hydrogenation of carbon–carbon double bonds.
