Embedding Pd nanoparticles in carbon thin film-lined SBA-15 nanoreactors provides highly efficient catalysts for heterogeneous cross coupling reactions aqueous media. No leaching or aggregation of was found these after reusing them several times. The film lining further confirmed with small molecular arene probing experiments.
