Palladium nanoparticle-modified carbon nanotubes for electrochemical hydrogenolysis in ionic liquids

The hydrogen evolution reaction in a room temperature ionic liquid: mechanism and electrocatalyst trends

“…The proton reduction feature has previously been semi-quantitatively investigated in [C n mim][NTf 2 ] (n = 2, 4) ILs at Au, 10 Pt, 10,11,14 Pd 12,13 and GC 10 electrodes. The present study seeks to perform a quantitative investigation of the proton reduction feature at five microelectrodes consisting of metals with varying electrocatalytic ability with respect to the hydrogen evolution reaction, as previously investigated in depth in aqueous systems.…”

“…Studies have investigated proton reduction in ionic liquids, such as studies of H[NTf 2 ] at various electrodes. [10][11][12][13][14] The oxidation of hydrogen has also been investigated. 5,[14][15][16] The thermodynamics of proton reduction and hydrogen oxidation have also been recently investigated in a sub-family of ionic liquids; protic ionic liquids.…”

Electrocatalytic hydrodehalogenation of 2,4-dichlorophenol in aqueous solution on palladium–nickel bimetallic electrode synthesized with surfactant assistance

“…Formed H 2 tends to form a layer over the surface of the electrode, hence, the mass transfer of target substance to the active sites of the catalysts was inhibited [23,24]. The nature of the electrode material and the feature of the electrode surface are of a prime importance among the factors affecting the ECH efficiency [25]. Electrochemical characteristics of the electrode are critical to ECH.…”

Room temperature ionic liquid as solvent for in situ Pd/H formation: hydrogenation of carbon–carbon double bonds

“…This electrochemical method of generating reactive hydrogen atoms in situ from protons using palladium 12 and also palladium nanoparticle modified electrodes 13 in the ionic liquid [C 2 mim][NTf 2 ] demonstrated the rapid hydrogenolysis of organic protecting groups. This work seeks to expand this concept to the hydrogenation of carbon-carbon double bonds.…”
