Magnetically Responsive Core–Shell Pd/Fe3O4@C Composite Catalysts for the Hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde

Article

Abstract

Magnetically responsive Pd/Fe3O4@C catalysts have been successfully prepared by depositing Pd nanoparticles onto the surface of Fe3O4@C composites. Various techniques such as XRD, SEM, TEM, SQUID etc. have been used to characterize the composite catalysts. The obtained catalysts, consisting of core–shell structured microspheres with high uniformity, show a good superparamagnetic property. The selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde on the magnetic catalysts has been investigated, achieving about 70 % selectivity to hydrocinnamaldehyde at 100 % conversion. Moreover, the magnetic catalyst can be easily recovered under an external magnetic field and reused for seven cycles without any degradation in activity.
