A solvent-switched in situ confinement approach for immobilizing highly-active ultrafine palladium nanoparticles: boosting catalytic hydrogen evolution

Abstract

A facile and effective solvent-switched in situ confinement approach (SSISCA) has been developed to immobilize ultrafine and clean Pd NPs of 1.75 nm into a nanoporous carbon support. The Pd NPs in situ confined within the carbon nanopores possess high catalytic activity and selectivity for hydrogen evolution from formic acid with a record-high TOF of 9110H at 60 C.
