Hydrogenation Catalysts Based on Platinum-and Palladium-Containing Nanodiamonds

摘要

Platinum and palladium nanoparticles of 4-5 nm size applied at nanodiamonds have been shown to efficiently catalyze liquid-phase hydrogenation of different organic compounds (nitrocompounds, azomethines, and unsaturated hydrocarbons and alcohols) under mild conditions (T= 318 K, hydrogen pressure of 0.1 MPa, solution in ethanol). Using of palladium on nanodiamond containing 3 wt % of metal has been most efficient.
