Ru _x Pd _y Alloy Nanoparticles Uniformly Anchored on Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanosheets (Ru _x Pd _y @rGO): A Recyclable Catalyst.

ABSTRACT: In this work, Ru _x Pd _y alloy nanoparticles were uniformly decorated on a two-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheet by an in situ chemical co-reduction process. The resulting products were characterized by various physiochemical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Further, the synthesized Ru _x Pd _y @rGO nanocomposites have been employed as a heterogeneous catalyst for three different catalytic reactions: (1) dehydrogenation of aqueous ammonia borane (AB); (2) hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds using ammonia b
