Structure of Pd/C composites and their catalytic properties in hydrogenation of diene carboxylates
Abstract
A series of palladium-containing composites, i.e. four Pd/C and three "Pd(OH)2 " /C (Pearlman’s catalysts, where Pd(OH)2 indicated hydrated PdO), was prepared using modified common approaches to deposition of Pd or PdO on the charcoal. The composites were characterized by transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM and SEM), powder Xray diffraction, and low-temperature N2 adsorption.
