Abstract

The current work describes the synthesis of a new bio-waste derived cellulosic-carbon supported-palladium nanoparticles enriched magnetic nanocatalyst (Pd/Fe3O4@C) using a simple multi-step process under aerobic conditions. Under mild reaction conditions, the Pd/Fe3O4@C magnetic nanocatalyst demonstrated excellent catalytic activity in the Hiyama cross-coupling reaction for a variety of substrates. Also, the Pd/Fe3O4@C magnetic nanocatalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity up to five recycles without significant catalytic activity loss in the Hiyama cross-coupling reaction. Also, we explored the use of Pd/Fe3O4@C magnetic nanocatalyst as an electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction. Interestingly, the Pd/Fe3O4@C magnetic nanocatalyst exhibited better electrochemical activity compared to bare carbon and magnetite (Fe3O4 nanoparticles) with an overpotential of 293 mV at a current density of 10 mA·cm–2.
