In situ preparation of graphene oxide supported Pd nanoparticles in an ionic liquid and the long-term catalytic stability for the Heck reaction

Abstract

The double protection of the organic cation [BMIM]⁺ and RGO can reduce the collision and agglomeration of Pd nanoparticles. Hence, the <italic>in situ</italic> prepared Pd/RGO can exhibit high efficiency and long-term catalytic stability for the Heck reaction in the ionic liquid.
