AgPd@Pd/TiO2 nanocatalyst synthesis by microwave heating in aqueous solution for efficient hydrogen production from formic acid†
Abstract
Ag100−xPdx/TiO2 (x = 7, 10, and 15) catalysts for hydrogen production from formic acid were synthesized in aqueous solution using MW heating. The hydrogen production rate of Ag100−xPdx@Pd/TiO2 increased concomitantly with decreasing x. The best catalytic activity ever reported was obtained for Ag93Pd7@Pd/TiO2 among all heterogeneous catalysts.
