In this study, platinum–cobalt bimetallic catalysts supported on mesoporous silica aerogel (SAG), abbreviated as PCx/SAG,x= 1–6, were prepared by facile chemical reduction and a simple, efficient microwave-assisted method using Co and Pt precursors.

Ru nanoparticles supported on hollow mesoporous silica (HMS), which are prepared viain situwet chemical reduction, have been investigated as the highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for H2generation from the hydrolysis of an alkaline NaBH4solution. Many techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), are used to characterize the as-prepared nanocatalyst (Ru/HMS). Factors, such as Ru loadings in HMS, catalyst concentration, and solution temperature, on catalytic property and reutilization are investigated in this work. A rate of H2generation as high as 18.6 L min−1 g−1(Ru) using 1 wt% NaBH4solution containing 3 wt% NaOH and 40 mg of Ru/HMS catalyst can be reached at room temperature. The minimum apparent activation energy (Ea) of H2generation, obtained by fitting the curve ofEavalues versus catalyst amount, is determined to be 46.7 ± 1 kJ/mol. The residual catalytic activity of the repeated Ru/HMS still remains 47.7% after 15 runs, which perhaps results from the incorporation of the residual by-product (NaBO2) in the pores of HMS based on the analysis of XPS.

A facile and efficient method was developed for the synthesis of highly active palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) by microwave-assisted chemical reduction. The PdNPs with different morphology were prepared with or without KBr (capping agent) using ethylene glycol (EG) and citric acid (CA) as reducing agent in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), respectively. The as-prepared PdNPs were characterized by (UV-Visible Spectrophotometer) UV-Vis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The results showed that the PdNPs reduced by EG without KBr (PdNPs-EG) has smaller particle size than other PdNPs. The remarkable catalytic activity of the PdNPs catalysts are obtained using a low amount of PdNPs (0.1 mmol‰) using K2CO3 as base and EtOH/H2O as solvent toward Suzuki coupling reactions of aryl bromides and phenylboronic acid for 15 min.
