The design and development of green and efficient supported catalysts is the frontier direction in the field of green synthesis, which conforms to the strategic concept of green sustainable chemistry and "carbon neutrality". Herein, we used a renewable resource chitosan (CS) derived from seafood wastes of chitin as carriers to design two different chitosan-supported palladium (Pd) nano-catalysts through different activation methods. The Pd particles were firmly and uniformly dispersed on the chitosan microspheres due to the interconnected nanoporous structure and functional groups of chitosan, proved by diverse characterizations.

Aims: This study aimed to explore the relationship between alarm fatigue and burnout among critical care nurses.
With the development of society, the problem of environmental pollution is becoming increasingly serious, such as the typical pollution of nitro compounds or dyes in wastewater. An effective strategy to remove these organic pollutants is catalytic conversion, including converting them into more chemically valuable compounds. Herein, a nanoporous chitosan microsphere derived from seafood waste resources of chitin was constructed via sol-gel method, which was used as supports to successfully fabricate a highly dispersed Pd nano-catalyst (mean diameter ~ 1.
