Well-dispersed and size-controlled Pd/RGO with highly active catalysts was synthesized through reduction of PdO/GO with hydrazine hydrate and ammonia. The electrocatalytic activity and the stability of the as-prepared Pd/RGO are much better than those of commercial Pd/C catalysts for methanol electrooxidation and the Suzuki reaction.

Recently, a so-called `crown-jewel' concept of preparation of Au/Pd-based colloidal nanoclusters has been reported [Zhang, Watanabe, Okumura, Haruta & Toshima (2011).Nat. Mater.11, 49–52]. Here, a different way of preparing highly active Au/Pd-based nanoclusters is presented. The origin of the increased activity of Au/Pd-based colloidal bimetallic nanoclusters was unclear up to now. However, it is, in general, accepted that in the nanometre range (1–100 nm) the cluster size, shape and composition affect the structural characteristics (e.g.lattice symmetry, unit cell), electronic properties (e.g.band gap) and chemical properties (e.g.catalytic activity) of a material. Hence, a detailed study of the relationship between the nanostructure of nanoclusters and their catalytic activity is presented here. The results indicate that a high surface-to-volume ratio of the nanoclusters combined with the presence of `both' Au and Pd isolated regions at the surface are crucial to achieve a high catalytic activity. A detailed structure elucidation directly leads to a mechanistic proposal, which indeed explains the higher catalytic activity of Au/Pd-based catalysts compared with pure metallic Au or Pd. The mechanism is based on cascade catalysis induced by a single type of nanoparticle with an intermixed surface of Au and Pd.

In this study, a series of Co3O4-CeO2 nanocomposites with various Co3O4 loading were fabricated by the impregnation method using cobalt(II) acetate as the cobalt precursor for the treatment of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX). The as-prepared Co3O4-CeO2 nanocomposites were thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brumauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and temperature-programmed desorption (O2-TPD). The excellent reproduction of active oxygen species caused by the high dispersion of Co3O4 crystals on the CeO2 supports was established. In addition, the reduction peaks of Co3O4-CeO2 nanocomposites were found at much lower temperatures compared to pure CeO2, considering their unique redox property influencing on the high catalytic activity. Among the characterized materials, the 5.0 wt.% Co3O4 supported on CeO2 (5.0Co–Ce) was the best system for catalytic oxidation of xylene, along with excellent performances in the cases of benzene, ethylbenzene, and toluene. Its catalytic activity increased in the order: benzene < xylene < ethylbenzene < toluene . Furthermore, the addition of carbon monoxide (CO) as a coreactant permitted to improve the catalytic performances in such oxidations as well as the stability of as-prepared catalysts, even under humid conditions.

This work is addressed to the phenomenon of catalyst deactivation taking place during the repeated uses in the reaction of Suzuki-Miyaura (S-M) cross-coupling, which is widely applied in industry for C-C bond formation. Ligandless catalysts based on Pd(0) NPs supported on hyper-cross-linked polystyrene (HPS) of two types (non-functionalized and bearing tertiary amino groups) were studied in a model S-M reaction between 4-bromoanisole and phenylboronic acid. Synthesized catalysts were shown to be highly active under mild reaction conditions. HPS allows stabilization of Pd(0) NPs and prevents their agglomeration and detectable Pd leaching. However, the loss of catalytic activity was observed during recycling. The deactivation issue was assigned to the hydrophobic nature of non-functionalized HPS, which allowed a strong adsorption of cross-coupling product during the catalyst separation procedure. A thorough washing of Pd/HPS catalyst by hydrophobic solvent was found to improve to the big extent the observed catalytic activity, while the replacement of non-functionalized HPS by a one containing amino groups increased the catalyst stability at the expense of their activity.

Abstract Herein, we synthesized the chalcogenide-quaternary nanocomposite loaded Graphene-based ternary photocatalyst via a modified solvothermal method. The preparation of quaternary nanocomposite was based on metallic citrate polymerization which used ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and citric acid (C6H8O7) as chelate cations. The morphology and electrochemical properties of the as-prepared nano-material investigated by using a physical characterization equipment. Each result showed that the ternary photocatalyst was successfully synthesized and showed the low recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes, which defined the catalytic activity of the photocatalyst for CO2 evolution into hydrocarbon fuels under light irradiation. In addition, the stability and reusability of the photocatalyst were analyzed by a 6-times cycling test without loss of methanol formation by CO2 evolution. The graphene-based ternary photocatalyst offers a new nanomaterial with a new-model that protects the environment by showing high catalytic activity in reducing CO2 to methanol.

The novel MCM-41-immobilised nitrogen and sulfur mixed tridentate palladium(0) complex [MCM-41-2N,S-Pd(0)] was prepared from 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltrimethoxysilane by immobilisation on MCM-41, followed by reaction with thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde and PdCl2 and then reduction with hydrazine hydrate. This phosphine-free heterogeneous palladium(0) complex was a highly active catalyst for the Suzuki reaction of aryl bromides in air and could be recycled at least 8 times without significant loss of activity.
