Article Synopsis
- - The study discovered that nano palladium(0) supported on cellulose is a highly efficient and recyclable catalyst for two key chemical reactions: the Suzuki coupling of aryl bromides with phenyl boronic acid in water, and the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol using air as the oxygen source in acetonitrile.
- - The preparation of this Cell-Pd(0) catalyst involved mixing cellulose with a palladium compound in ethanol and then reducing it with hydrazine hydrate, resulting in nano-sized palladium particles evenly distributed on cellulose.
- - Characterization techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to confirm the
