Specific Features of the Catalytic Behavior of Supported Palladium Nanoparticles in Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactions

摘要

Specific features of the catalytic behavior of supported palladium nanoparticles were analyzed in terms of both the size of the particles and their interaction with the support. The influence of these factors on the activity and selectivity of palladium nanoparticles in carbon-carbon bond hydrogenolysis, hydrogenation of aromatic compounds, olefins, and acetylenes, hydrodechlorination, as well as complete oxidation of organic compounds was discussed. It was shown that the optimal nanoparticle size depends on the type of the reaction and also such factors as the nature of interaction between the nanoparticles and support, absorptivity of the substrates and catalytic reaction products, and electronic and crystal structure of the nanoparticles.
