Synthesis and Catalytic Properties of Ag(Pd) Bimetallic Nanoparticles
摘要
Ag(Pd) bimetallic nanostructures (Ag(Pd)NPs) were synthesized using the galvanic replacement of palladium ions with silver nanoparticles. Based on a comparative analysis of the results of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis, and X-ray powder diffraction, it was established that the obtained Ag(Pd)NPs can be considered as “core-shell” nanosystems, in which the core is silver, and the shells are palladium nanoparticles with a size of 5–15 nm. Ag(Pd)NPs were studied as catalysts for the aerobic liquid-phase oxidation of benzyl alcohol. The addition of Ag(Pd)NPs to the reaction system accelerates the reaction in 14 times.
