Isolated PdO sites on SiO2-supported NiO nanoparticles as active sites for allylic alcohol selective oxidation

Abstract

Silica-supported NiO nanoparticles as hosts for isolated PdO catalytic sites. Isolate PdO is confirmed as the species responsible for the chemoselective oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol to cinnamaldehyde by operando X-ray absorption spectroscop
