Bimetallic catalysts for the Fischer–Tropsch reaction

Bimetallic Pd-Ni core-shell nanoparticles as effetive catalysts for Suzuki reaction

Facile synthesis of Pd-based bimetallic nanocrystals and their application as catalysts for methanol oxidation reaction.

We employed an efficient and facile route to synthesise monodisperse Pd-based bimetallic nanocrystals (MPd: M = Cu, Co and Ni) via a controlled co-reduction of Pd(ii) chloride and M(ii) nitrate at 200-230 °C in the presence of oleylamine (OAm). These monodisperse Pd-based nanocrystals have small dimensions, unique structures and homogeneous morphology, thus exhibit efficient catalytic activitie...

Bimetallic palladium-platinum dendrimer-encapsulated catalysts.

We report the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity of bimetallic palladium-platinum dendrimer-encapsulated catalysts (DECs). These materials are prepared by co-complexation of different ratios of palladium and platinum salts to the interior tertiary amines of fourth-generation, hydroxyl-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers. Chemical reduction of these composites yields ...

Synthesis of Anchored Bimetallic Catalysts via Epitaxy

The development of thermodynamically stable supported bimetallic catalysts for high-temperature reaction is significant and highly desirable but remains a grand challenge. In this work, we report a novel approach that relies on the interaction of metal nanoparticles with the support material to form unique bimetallic nanoparticles, which epitaxially anchor onto the support surface. Such unique ...

Bimetallic palladium-gold dendrimer-encapsulated catalysts.

The synthesis, characterization, and catalytic properties of 1-3 nm-diameter bimetallic PdAu dendrimer-encapsulated catalysts are reported. Both alloy and core/shell PdAu nanoparticles were prepared. The catalytic hydrogenation of allyl alcohol was significantly enhanced in the presence of the alloy and core/shell PdAu nanoparticles as compared to mixtures of single-metal nanoparticles.
