Abstract:

Pd nanoparticles were confined in grass-like graphene layers on monolithic cordierite by using NH2-ion liquid C7H14ClN3 functionalized graphene sheets. These were used as the catalyst for the hydrogenation of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde. The catalyst exhibited high stability compared to Pd/activated carbon catalyst due to the inhibition of Pd leaching and aggregation.
