Description
This research focuses on promoting nickel-based catalysts by visible-light illuminated gold and palladium nanoparticles in fine organic synthesis. Using lignin model compound cleavage as the model reaction, the performance of three distinct systems, in-situ formed Ni(OH)2 on ZrO2 supported Au NPs, non-plasmonic NiPd alloy NPs supported on ZrO2 and the mechanical mixture of ZrO2 supported Au NPs and Ni NPs are investigated. Ultra-low palladium loading on sodium titanate sheets for Heck cross-coupling reaction under visible light is also studied. This research has provided innovative findings in new photocatalyst design and application.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
