Palladium-containing graphene-like materials: Preparation and application as hydrogenation catalysts

Abstract

The preparation of palladium-containing graphene-like materials modified with amines is described. The structure of the resulting materials is studied by a complex of physicochemical methods. The materials are tested as hydrogenation and hydrodehalogenation catalysts. It is shown that the characteristics of these catalysts are superior to those of the commercial counterpart, viz., palladium-containing activated carbon.
