Seed‐mediated Growth of Alloyed Ag‐Pd Shells toward Alkyne Semi‐hydrogenation Reactions under Mild Conditions ^†

Main observation and conclusion Ag@Ag‐Pd x core‐shell nanocomposites with various Ag/Pd ratio were deposited on Ag nanoplates using a seed growth method. When physically loaded on C 3 N 4 , Ag@Ag‐Pd 0.077 /C 3 N 4 with optimized Ag/Pd ratio could accomplish high catalytic performance for the semi‐hydrogenation of phenylacetylene as well as other aliphatic (both terminal and internal alkynes) alkynes and phenylcycloalkynes containing functional...
