Three-dimensional amine-terminated ionic liquid functionalized graphene/Pd composite aerogel as highly efficient and recyclable catalyst for the Suzuki cross-coupling reactions

In this work, three-dimensional (3D) amine-terminated ionic liquid (IL) covalently functionalized graphene/Pd composite aerogels are successfully fabricated via a facile and green reduction-inducing self-assembly method. The morphology and composition of the obtained 3D IL-rGO/Pd composite aerogels are studied by means of TEM, SEM, XRD, FTIR, XPS, BET, and Raman spectroscopy. In those composites, the cations of NH2-IL introduced to the surface...
