Highly active bimetallic PdAu nanoparticles (NPs) supported on
commercial nanocarbons have been prepared through a simple Larginine-
mediated synthetic approach. The as-synthesized catalysts
have been used for the dehydrogenation of formic acid (FA).
Remarkably, the resultant Pd1Au1 NPs immobilized onto MSC-30
carbon achieved a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 8355 h1 at 60 C
in aqueous FA solution without addition of sodium formate, much
higher than the results of heterogeneous catalysts reported thus far.
The simple small-molecule-mediated synthetic methodology developed
herein opens a new path for the practical and large-scale
development of high-performance catalysts for a wide range of
applications.
