Abstract

The synthesis of Pd nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and the cataytic performance of the resulting material (Pd-NPs/MWCNTs) in 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 an average size of 4 nm and Pd loads of about 12% ...
