We studied the effects of catalyst introduction methods using poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers on the nickel patterning of polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM)-coated substrates. Three different approaches to palladium catalyst introduction using microcontact printing as the patterning technique were utilized and compared. The catalyst introduction methods are (1) direct catalyst stamping, (2) d...

Drug carrier biocompatible and biodegradable nanoparticles of about 15 nm were prepared by solvent evaporation technique from star-shaped poly(D,L-lactide) synthesized using dipentaerythritol as core and Tin (II) ethylhexanoate as catalyst.

The design and synthesis of novel cyanopropyl polysilsesquioxane hollow spheres lead to production of a highly active and stable catalyst in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol catalyzed by Au nanoparticles.

A series of quinazolines were synthesized from 2-aminobenzophenones and benzylic amines in good to excellent yields by employing a new heterogeneous catalyst based on the copper oxide nanoparticles supported on kaolin.

Highly dispersive and ultrafine Au nanoparticles were effectively immobilized on the surface of hierarchical double-walled nickel silicate hollow nanofibers assembled by ultrathin nanosheets, which showed remarkable catalytic performances as an efficient and reusable hydrogenation catalyst.

Carbon-supported platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) alloy catalyst has become a promising alternative electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. In this work, the synthesis of highly active and stable carbon-supported Pt-Pd alloy catalysts is reported with a room-temperature electron reduction method. The alloy nanoparticles thus prepared show a pa...

Nitroderivatives are transformed to cyclohexylanilines at room temperature in good yields and selectivity via a hydrogenation-amine coupling cascade reaction using Pd nanoparticles on carbon as a catalyst and a Brönsted acid.

Hybrid photocatalysts were prepared by depositing a macrocyclic cobalt complex on TiO2 surfaces. Upon UV light irradiation, photoexcited electrons in TiO2 nanoparticles were transferred to the surface cobalt catalyst for CO2 reduction.

the development of metal-based therapeutics. Cisplatin is one platinum complex and is widely used in treatments for cancer. Shimizu and Tsuji established a method of preparing colloidal platinum particles, whose average size is 2 nm, by ethanol reduction of H2PtCl6 in the absence of protective agents such as hydrophilic polymers. They used only the chemicals permitted to food additives such as ...

this study offers an exclusive class of magnetic nanoparticles supported hyperbranched polyglycerol (mnp/hpg) that was functionalized with citric acid (mnp/hpg-ca) as a host immobilization of palladium nanoparticles. the mnp/hpg-ca/pd catalyst was fully characterized using some different techniques such as thermogravimetric analysis (tga), x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microsco...
