Co-generation of palladium nanoparticles and phosphate supported on metal–organic frameworks as hydrogenation catalysts

Abstract

In this study, we demonstrated the direct synthesis of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (PA) containing palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) supported on a metal–organic framework (MOF). The resulting composite containing PA molecules coexisting with PdNPs demonstrated improved hydrogenation catalytic performance compared to the composites without PA.
