Efficient aqueous hydrodeoxygenation of vanillin over a mesoporous carbon nitride-modified Pd nanocatalyst

Abstract

CN is prepared <italic>via</italic> polymerization between EDA and CF, which renders coordinated Pd with high activity for selective HDO of vanillin at low H₂ pressure and temperature. This Pd/CN is reusable and the best TOF reaches 295.4 h⁻¹.
