Catalytic Hydrogenation of lsoprene on Palladium

High catalytic performance of palladium nanoparticles supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes on alkene hydrogenation

The synthesis of Pd nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and the cataytic performance of the resulting material (PdNPs/MWCNTs) on hydrogenation reactions are presented. Facile preparation approaches based on the decomposition of Pd precursors in the presence of MWCNTs lead to homogeneous dispersions of supported Pd-NPs with average size of 4 nm and Pd loads ...

High-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on palladium model hydrogenation catalysts Part2: Hydrogenation of trans-2-pentene on palladium

We have performed the first “high-pressure” XPS study on the palladium, hydrogen and olefin (trans-2-pentene) system in order to gain a better insight into the hydrogenation reaction. We report here data collected using a Pd(111) single crystal and a polycrystalline foil. Hydrogenation was observed on polycrystalline foil (RT and 373 K), but not on Pd(111) single crystal, revealed by on-line ma...

Catalytic membrane reactor for the selective hydrogenation of edible oil: Platinum versus Palladium catalyst

Catalytic Hydrogenation of Benzoic Acid

Hydrogenation of benzoic acid using monoand bimetallic catalyst of Ru, Pd, Co, and Re yielded different products. It was observed that 5% Ru/C was an active catalyst for hydrogenation of both aromatic ring and carboxylic group, while Pd/C catalyst hydrogenated only aromatic ring. Ru-Sn/Al2O3 is a chemoselective catalyst for hydrogenation of –COOH group of benzoic acid.

Catalytic hydrogenation of graphene films.

We developed a novel and facile method to hydrogenate graphene by using a conditioning catalyst upstream of the graphene sample to generate atomic hydrogen.
