Semihydrogenation of a propargylic alcohol over highly active amorphous Pd81Si19 in “supercritical” carbon dioxide

Kinetics of the solvent-free hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol over a structured Pd-based catalyst

“…Pd-based catalysts are known to give the highest selectivity and yield [3]. Their performance is strongly influenced by the dispersion of the active metal [4,5], the nature of the support [6,7] and the use of promoters [8] and additives [9].…”

Rapid preparation and magnetic properties of Fe3Si–Al2O3 nanocomposite by mechanical alloying and heat treatment

“…Transition metal silicides have been widely applied in numerous fields including CMOS microelectronic transistors, electrical heating elements, thermoelectric materials and optoelectronic devices , on account of their unique properties such as high chemical inertness, excellent thermal stability and electrical conductivity . Moreover, they are attracting increasing attention in hydrogenation and methanation reactions as new catalytic materials . Particularly, iron silicides find potential application in new silicon‐compatible devices for photovoltaics and spintronics .…”

Nickel silicides prepared from organometallic polymer as efficient catalyst towards hydrogenation of phenylacetylene

“…Tschan et al [13] prepared the amorphous Pd 81 Si 29 alloy by melt spinning method. CoSi nanoparticles supported on silica were synthesized by MOCVD of Co(SiCl 3 )(CO) 4 [14].…”
