A pluronic P123 surfactant was employed in the exfoliation and stabilization of Pd0‐supported graphene oxide (PdNPs–GO; NPs=nanoparticles) nanosheets in aqueous solution during the oxidation of benzylic and aliphatic alcohols under aerobic conditions at 80 °C. Surfactants prevented the aggregation of PdNPs–GO sheets at 80 °C under aqueous conditions and PdNPs–GO/P123 adducts acted as a highly dispersive homogeneous‐like catalyst. The catalytic performance of the nanocomposite material was remarkably improved, being highly stable and reusable in the aerobic oxidation of alcohols for at least nine runs.
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.
