Abstract

FePd and Pd nanowires (NWs), were synthesized by electrodeposition into a nanoporous alumina membrane and superficially functionalized with a modified β-cyclodextrin (βCDMOD14). A complete description is provided, at the molecular level, of the modified surface supported by FT-IR and XPS spectroscopy data. FePd NWs@βCDMOD14 showed excellent catalytic activity in the reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol with NaBH4, being 10 times higher than NWs without βCDMOD14 and even better than Pd NWs@βCDMOD14.
