A New Redox Method for Depositing FeOx on the Surface of Pd(0)/SiO2 Nanoparticles—Catalysts for Selective Phenylacetylene Hydrogenation

A catalyst containing iron oxide particles on the surface of palladium nanoparticles is synthesized for the first time using a redox method of the catalytic reduction with hydrogen. The activity of the catalyst in the selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene considerably increased, compared to the initial palladium catalyst.
