palladium nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (pd/mwcnts) have been synthesized using a modified polyol reduction method and its performance in methanol oxidation reactions has evaluated. the morphology of palladium on mwcnts was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). the catalytic performance of synthesized catalyst ...

Herein the modifications of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with palladium nanoparticles and a palladium film are reported. The response to hydrogen peroxide on the modified electrode was examined using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry (at –0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode in the phosphate buffer solution, pH 7.4). The palladium film and palladium nanoparticle-modified GCE showed a linea...

We report about the mechanistic studies of the reaction between a newly synthesized (S)-2-((R)-3H-dinaphtho[2,1-c:1',2'-e]azepin-4(5H)-yl)-2-phenylethanol based on the binaphthyl skeleton and (E)-2-methyl-5-phenylpent-2-enoic acid for the asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated acids with heterogeneous palladium catalysts. The specific interactions between the chiral ligand and reactant wer...

Johnson Matthey Technology Centre, Blounts Court, Sonning Common, Reading RG4 9NH, UK Email: [email protected] Palladium nanoparticles are of great importance as catalytic materials, as well as for a number of other applications such as hydrogen storage and sensing. Their synthesis has been wi dely studied and interest in their properties is growing. Here the synthesis of palladium nanoparticl...

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...

A simple and straightforward fluorescence method for the detection of palladium ions at low concentrations has been developed. The mode of operation of the sensor involves in situ generation of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs), which promote a selective deiodination reaction of iodo-BODIPY that forms highly fluorescent H-BODIPY.

We report the application of palladium nanoparticles and thin films for hydrogen sensor. Electrochemically grown palladium particles with spherical shapes deposited on Si substrate and sputter deposited Pd thin films were used to detect hydrogen at room temperature. Grain size dependence of H(2) sensing behavior has been discussed for both types of Pd films. The electrochemically grown Pd nanop...

Palladium nanoparticles supported on cellulose were prepared without using any reducing agent and used as a highly efficient catalyst for the Ullmann reductive coupling of aryl halides in the presence of zinc, in a water-alcohol mixture as solvent in air. The obtained palladium nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FTIR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and ICP...

New catalytic systems based on in situ and preformed palladium nanoparticles in ionic liquids (characterised by TEM) starting from palladium acetate or dipalladiumtris(dibenzylideneacetone) have been applied in the synthesis of 4-phenylbutan-2-one (II), a model compound for the preparation of fragrances. Imidazolium-based ionic liquid containing a methyl hydrogenophosphonate anion leads to an e...

Stable palladium nanoparticles were prepared by the passivation of palladium–carbon covalent linkages by the reduction of diazonium derivatives. The resulting particles were characterized by TEM, UV-vis, FTIR, and NMR measurements. Interestingly, in electrochemical studies of the electronic conductivity of the particle solid ensembles, Pd–biphenyl particles exhibited metallic temperature depend...
