PdO nanoparticles enhancing the catalytic activity of Pd/carbon nanotubes for 4-nitrophenol reduction

Abstract

In this work, Pd/PdO nanoparticles (NPs) supported on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes are prepared by a one-pot gas–liquid interfacial plasma method. The presence of PdO NPs significantly enhances the performance of the catalyst in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.
