Abstract. A Pd on Ni–B (Pd/Ni–B) bimetallic nanoparticle catalyst was prepared through a replacement reaction of amorphous Ni–B nanoparticles with Pd2+ ions. In the hydrodechlorination of chlorobenzene, the Pd/Ni–B bimetallic catalyst exhibited better activity than a Pd catalyst supported on polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, a mixture of Pd and Ni–B nanoparticles, and a Pd on Ni catalyst …
Abstract. Nickel nanoparticles supported on metal oxides were prepared by a modified electroless nickel-plating method. The process and mechanism of electroless plating were studied by changing the active metal (Ag) loading, acidity, and surface area of metal oxides and were characterized by UV–vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and H2 chemis…
