Biogenic synthesis of palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) nanoparticles from plants and microbes has captured the attention of many researchers because it is economical, sustainable and eco-friendly. Plant and their parts are known to have various kinds of primary and secondary metabolites which reduce the metal salts to metal nanoparticles. Shape, size and stability of Pd and Pt nanoparticles are...

Bimetallic Au-Pd nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully immobilized in the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) MIL-101 and ethylenediamine (ED)-grafted MIL-101 (ED-MIL-101) using a simple liquid impregnation method. The resulting composites, Au-Pd/MIL-101 and Au-Pd/ED-MIL-101, represent the first highly active MOF-immobilized metal catalysts for the complete conversion of formic acid to high-quality...

We report a facile route to selectively deposit and arrange palladium (Pd) nanoparticles on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) having sub 10 nm diameter by using supramolecular self-assembly of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a soft template.

Palladium (Pd) nanoparticles (5-20 nm) are used as the sensing layer on surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices for detecting H2. The interaction with hydrogen modifies the conductivity of the Pd nanoparticle film, producing measurable changes in acoustic wave propagation, which allows for the detection of this explosive gas. The nanoparticle-based SAW sensor responds rapidly and reversibly at room...

Pd nanoparticles (NPs) with a small size and narrow size distribution were prepared from the decomposition of Pd(OAc)(2) in a series of hydroxyl-functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) comprising the 1-(2'-hydroxylethyl)-3-methylimidazolium cation and various anions, viz. [C(2)OHmim][OTf] (2.4 ± 0.5 nm), [C(2)OHmim][TFA] (2.3 ± 0.4 nm), [C(2)OHmim][BF(4)] (3.3 ± 0.6 nm), [C(2)OHmim][PF(6)] (3.1 ± 0....

Small and highly dispersed palladium nanoparticles supported on graphene nanosheets were fabricated via a strategy of etching a copper template with Pd(2+). The obtained hybrid exhibited significant catalytic activity for formic acid oxidation.

Palladium nanoparticles encapsulated into graphite (Pd–graphite intercalation compound: Pd–GIC) were produced from two kinds of graphite, natural graphite (average flake size: 270 mm) and kish graphite (average flake size: 15 mm). Hydrogen storage properties of Pd– GIC have been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) between 473 and 573 K at 1.0 MPa hydrogen pressure. ...

palladium is the best metal catalyst for suzuki cross coupling reaction for synthesize of unsymmetrical biaryl compounds. but its high cost limits its application in wide scale. using of nanoscale particles as active catalytic cites is a good approach for reducing needed noble metal. by loading precious nanoparticles on magnetic nanocores as a support, recycling and reusing of catalyst will be ...

The application of Pd/Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) for the adsorption of sulfathiazole from urine samples prior to high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection was studied. Pd/Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized using plant extract. Possible impact parameters in the extraction process such as the magnetic adsorbents amount, extraction time, sample pH and desorption conditions were investiga...

The utilization of perfluoro-tagged palladium nanoparticles immobilized on fluorous silica gel through fluorous-fluorous interactions (Pd(np)-/FSG) or linked to silica gel by covalent bonds (Pd(np)-) in the alkynylation of terminal alkynes with aryl halides under aerobic, copper- and phosphine-free conditions in water, and their recovery and re-utilization, is described.
