A simple and practical method for coating palladium/silver nanoparticles on polyimide (PI) nanotubes is developed. The key steps involved in the process are silver ion exchange/reduction and displacement reactions between silver and palladium ions. With the addition of silver, the conductivity of the PI nanotubes is greatly enhanced. Further, the polyimide nanotubes with a dense, homogeneous co...

A ligand free, Palladium nanoparticles catalyzed synthesis of pyran derivatives using C-H activated compound, malononitrile and aryl aldehyde via Knoevenagel condensation followed by Michael addition reaction using Palladium nanoparticles as catalyst in one-pot is described herein. The advantages of this method lie in its simplicity, low catalyst loading, cost effectiveness and easy to handle. ...

Activated and non-activated aryl bromides undergo smooth ligand-less Heck reactions, provided low amounts of palladium salts such as Pd(OAc)2 are used (ideally 0.01-0.1 mol%). This industrially viable process appears to involve palladium nanoparticles.

in this study, a new adsorbent, silver nanoparticle loaded on activated carbon (ag˗np˗ac) was used for removal of acid yellow199 (ay 199) dye. this novel material was characterized and identified by different techniques such as brunauer, emmett and teller (bet), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem), x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis. unique properties of this adsorbent such as hig...

Front Cover: In article 2200325 by Aiguo Hu and co-workers, 20 kinds of soluble-conjugated polymeric nanoparticles are control-synthesized in palladium nanoparticles-loaded dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres show narrow size dispersity, bright fluorescence, high processibility.

Palladium nanoparticles were deposited with high dispersion and stability on nitrogen-doped magnetic carbon nanoparticles by a simple impregnation method, and their catalytic performance was investigated for Heck, Suzuki, and Sonogashira coupling reactions.

We report the synthesis and catalytic studies of novel palladium nanostructures assembled from small nanoparticles by a surfactant-templated method. These one-dimensional nanomaterials comprise high-density nanocontacts of approximately 1 nm in contact length at the particle-particle interface. In contrast to dispersed Pd nanoparticles ( approximately 5 nm), the polycrystalline palladium nanowi...

Construction of two vicinal all-carbon quaternary carbon centres is of great importance due to the common presence of such units in natural and unnatural molecules with attractive functions. However, it remains a significant challenge. Here, we have developed a palladium-catalysed general coupling for the efficient connection of two tertiary carbon atoms: Specifically, propargylic carbonate has...

Removal of sulfur and nitrogen compounds from national commercial diesel through adsorption onto activated carbon was studied. Brazilian commercial activated carbon samples (AC) were modified by acid oxidation and, alternatively, were impregnated with palladium chloride. Modified carbon samples showed a significant increase in the quantity of acid sites, particularly those AC submitted to impre...
