A highly stable and active Pd catalyst on monolithic cordierite with graphene coating assisted by PDDA†
Abstract
A Pd catalyst on monolithic cordierite with graphene coating was prepared with assistance from poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). The obtained catalyst exhibits both high stability and activity in the liquid hydrogenation reaction of styrene due to the improved interaction between the graphene coating and cordierite and enhanced dispersion of Pd particles.
