Supported Pd nanoparticles are widely used as catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes and diolefins. They have a high activity, but it remains challenging to limit over–hydrogenation alkanes. We varied nanoparticle size on carbon catalyst from 2 17 nm studied its effect catalytic activity selectivity in 1,3-butadiene presence an excess propylene. The butadiene per metal surface atom increased slightly with particle size, s–1 34 at 25 °C particles. Contrarily, propylene decreased...
Abstract Sodium‐based complex hydrides have recently gained interest as electrolytes for all‐solid‐state batteries due to their light weight and high electrochemical stability. Although room temperature conductivities are not sufficiently battery application, nanocomposite formation with metal oxides has emerged a promising approach enhance the ionic conductivity of hydrides. This enhancement is generally attributed space charge layer at hydride‐oxide interface. However, in this study it...
The performance of selective hydrogenation reactions is affected by mass transfer limitations, induced higher local metal loading and larger catalyst grain size.
