Palladium Nanoparticles–Polypyrrole Composite as Effective Catalyst for Fluoroalkylation of Alkenes

Metallic nanoparticles for electrocatalytic reduction of halogenated organic compounds: A review

“…An interesting alternative is the utilization of nanoparticles (NPs) on carbon material supports. NPs have a hierarchical structure with high specific surface area and abundant active sites, making them particularly interesting for catalysis [35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. Furthermore, because of their high surface-to-volume ratio, it is possible to obtain high current densities with a low loading of NPs, thus enhancing the efficiency of the reaction, while decreasing the reaction time.…”

Nano-architecture of silica nanoparticles as a tool to tune both electrochemical and catalytic behavior of NiII@SiO2

“…The nanoparticulate approach to the design and synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts has gained growing attention in recent decades since it provides a tool for a combination of the catalytic efficiency of homogeneous catalysts with the facile separation from synthetic mixtures of heterogeneous ones. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In particular, conversion of molecular complexes of transition metals widely applied in homogeneous catalysis of organic reactions into nanoparticulate catalysts can signicantly facilitate their recycling. It is worth noting that the catalytic activity of nanoparticulate catalysts is greatly dependent on the surface activity of nanoparticles which, in turn, is affected by their size and nanoarchitecture.…”
