Abstract

Palladium nanoparticles of 3.2±0.9nm size were generated within 12–18 mesh pellets of hybrid zirconia/polyvinyl alcohol matrix, to afford a 0.03–0.1% Pd loading (w/w). The material was used in the catalytic, continuous flow hydrogenation reaction of multiple CC and CC bonds and nitrobenzene, showing good selectivity at full conversion and excellent resistance over prolonged time-on-stream under room temperature and 1–2bar H2 gas. No metal leaching in solution was detected as well as no additives nor regeneration steps were needed for use in hydrophilic solvents.
