Palladium‐Based Nanostructures with Highly Porous Features and Perpendicular Pore Channels as Enhanced Organic Catalysts

Channeling a good catalyst: Highly porous palladium nanostructures (pPdNs) with perpendicular pore channels (see picture) were prepared under mild conditions. The combination of high surface area and rich edge/corner atoms gives pPdNs better catalytic performance than known Pd catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene and styrene and the Suzuki coupling reaction.
