An important goal in the preparation of highly active supported metal particles is the enhancement of the metal support interaction, providing a more stable catalyst, especially for liquid phase reactions as the leaching and reconstruction of the active phase causes deactivation. In this work, a covalent triazine framework (CTF) as support for Pd nanoparticles is compared to activated carbon (AC), the typical support used in liquid phase reactions. The results indicate that the presence of the N-heterocyclic moieties on the surface of the frameworks is beneficial for improving the stability of Pd nanoparticles during the liquid phase glycerol oxidation. Pd/CTF showed better activity and in particular better stability when compared to Pd supported on activated carbon (AC).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
