Abstract

Platinum and palladium bimetal nanoparticles on ferroferric oxide (PtPd/Fe3O4 NPs) nanocomposite catalysts were successfully synthesized with polyvinyl pyrrolidone as a stabilizing agent. The resultant samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma, and magnetic studies. The catalytic performance of the PtPd/Fe3O4 NPs in the Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions was evaluated. Results showed that the cubic phase of Pt and Pd bimetal nanoparticles coexists with that of Fe3O4. The PtPd/Fe3O4 NP catalysts, which were approximately 22 nm in size, showed excellent catalytic activity in the Heck and Suzuki reactions. Moreover, the catalyst can be recovered with a magnet and reused several times without the significant loss of catalytic activity.
