Abstract
The
separation and reuse of nanocatalysts remains a major challenge.
Herein, we report a novel approach to prepare palladium nanowire array
catalysts by reducting PdCl<sub>2</sub> in the pores of anodic aluminum
oxide (AAO) templates with backside Al sheets via a hydrothermal process.
Suzuki coupling reactions and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction reactions
were employed to study the catalytic activity of the nanocatalysts.
The nanocatalysts demonstrated good activity, great thermal stability,
easy separation, and excellent reusability in both Suzuki reaction
and 4-NP reduction
