Abstract
Colloidal bimetallic gold core palladium shell nanoparticles were prepared by wet chemical method, in which Au(III) and Pd(II) ions in an aqueous solution in the presence of a cationic surfactant, Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The structure and composition of the metallic nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis, HRTEM, SEM-EDX, XRD, XPS and FTIR. The catalytic activities of nanoparticles are tested on the surface chemical characterization study of Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide supported Au-Pd bimetallic nanoparticle catalyst, hereafter named Au-Pdnp, is reported. Such a catalyst was developed for the Suzuki coupling reaction and found excellent catalytic activity. Here we describe the catalytic performance and the FTIR studies provide proof of the mode of binding that occurs in the Palladium nanoparticle surface for the first time and also confirms the mechanism of the Suzuki reaction.
