Article Abstract
A series of hierarchical nanosheet array-like Co-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybrid supported ultrafine PdCu nanocluster (NC) catalysts PdCu/LDHs/rGO (: Cu/Pd molar ratio of 1.5, 3.0, and 5.5; : Pd loadings of ∼0.80, 0.40, 0.11, and 0.01 wt %) were assembled via an ultrasonic-assisted NaBH reduction-sol immobilization strategy. The as-obtained catalysts display ultrafine PdCu alloy NCs with sizes of ∼0.9-1.8 nm finely tuned by both Cu/Pd ratios and Pd loadings and mainly distributed on the edge sites of LDH nanosheets and part of LDHs-rGO junctions upon the unique hierarchical nanosheet array-like structure. Three catalysts 0.85-PdCu/LDHs/rGO, 0.83-PdCu/LDHs/rGO, and 0.80-PdCu/LDHs/rGO exhibit excellent Heck reactivity for iodobenzene with styrene, of which the 0.83-PdCu/LDHs/rGO shows the highest activity, much higher than Pd/LDHs/rGO and single LDHs or GO supported PdCu catalysts, attributed to the ultrafine PdCu NCs, the largest electron density of the Pd center, and the strongest PdCu NCs-LDHs-rGO three-phase synergistic effect. The lowest Pd-loading sample 0.01-PdCu/LDHs/rGO shows an unprecedented turnover frequency of 210 000 h (Pd dosage: 2 × 10 mol %) with the highest value so far, excellent adaptability for substrates, and reusability. The present work provides a versatile method for designing hierarchically structured ultrafine Pd-M alloy NC catalysts for varied catalysis processes.

The selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes is widely applied in the chemical industry; nevertheless, achieving highly selective hydrogenation with high catalytic activity is considerably challenging. Herein, ultrafine PdCu bimetallic nanoparticles encapsulated by high-surface-area mesoporous α-AlO were prepared by high-temperature calcination-reduction using a porous organic framework (POF) as the template. As-obtained PdCu@α-AlO exhibited a high selectivity of 95% for the semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene as a probe reaction under mild reaction conditions.

The chemical microenvironment modulation of metal nanoparticles (NPs) holds promise for tackling the long-lasting challenge of the trade-off effect between activity and selectivity in catalysis. Herein, ultrafine PdCu NPs incorporated into covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with diverse groups on their pore walls have been fabricated for the semihydrogenation of alkynes. The Cu species, as the primary microenvironment of Pd active sites, greatly improves the selectivity.

Bifunctional catalysts for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with high noble-metal utilization are highly beneficial to direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs). This study developed a ternary bifunctional catalyst composed of ultrafine PtPdCu alloy nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) support through a facile surfactant-free solvothermal route. The carboxyl terminal groups on CNTs ensure the confined growth of PtPdCu alloys (∼5 nm) and suppress Ostwald ripening of metallic active sites during electrochemical cycling.

Selective hydrogenation of alkynes to obtain alkenes is a key reaction in petrochemical and fine chemical industries. However, the development of stable and highly selective catalysts with uniformly dispersed active sites is still immensely challenging for the semi-hydrogenation of alkynes. In this study, N-doped porous carbon nanospheres (NPCNs) were synthesized by the nanoemulsion self-assembly and subsequently carbonization method.
