A Simple Preparation Route to Palladium Nanoparticles Catalyst from Decomposition of Supported [Pd(lysine·HCl)(Cl)2] Complex

Abstract

The supported palladium nanoparticles catalyst with uniform-sized Pd particles distribution and without nitro- gen or chlorine atoms present in catalyst was prepared by calcination of the supported (Pd(lysine·HCl)(Cl)2) complex as precursor and characterized by TEM. Moreover the supported (Pd(lysine·HCl)(Cl)2) complex was from cation exchanging (Pd(lysine·HCl)(Cl)2) complex with inorganic support. The hydrogenation characteristic of supported Pd nanoparticles catalyst was evaluated by using benzoic acid.
