Pt-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles encapsulated in dendrimer nanoreactor
This article reports the first effort for the preparation of dendrimer-templated Pt-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles and their application to catalysis. The resulting monodispersed bimetallic nanoparticles show a promising catalytic activity in the partial hydrogenation of 1,3-cyclooctadiene.
