Facile in-situ synthesis and deposition of monodisperse palladium nanoparticles on polydopamine-functionalized silica gel as a heterogeneous and recyclable nanocatalyst for aerobic oxidation of alcohols

This study described a protocol for in-situ synthesis of Pd nanoparticles immobilized on polydopamine coated-silica gel as a novel nanocatalyst for aerobic oxidation of alcohols.
