Abstract:Silver/palladium composite nanoparticles (NPs) obtained by pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) technique catalyze oxidation of propylene glycol (PG) to lactic acid (LA) in alkaline media. The PLAL technique allows obtaining silver/palladium NPs with different silver/palladium molar ratio. Addition of palladium increases PG conversion (up to 52%) and LA selectivity (up to 88%). The reaction temperature and silver/palladium molar ratio strongly affects the catalytic activity of the silver/palladium composite … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
