Highly active hydrogenation of 4-methoxyacetophenone by the novel carbon-supported ternary nanocatalyst palladium-vanadium-cobalt

Multimetallic nanocatalysts have remarkably revealed activities in various catalytic applications. Herein, the ternary nanocatalysts based on palladiumvanadium-cobalt were successfully synthesized through the reduction of their salts with sodium borohydride including impregnating of activated carbon (AC) substrate with colloid solution of metallic nanoparticles (PdVCo/C).
