Effects of lipid bilayer encapsulation and lipid composition on the catalytic activity and colloidal stability of hydrophobic palladium nanoparticles in water.

ABSTRACT: This article shows the preparation of a lipid-nanoparticle assembly (LNA) which contains hydrophobic palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) within the hydrophobic regions of the liposomal micelles. To understand the colloidal stability and catalytic activity of LNAs, the structure-property relationships of LNAs are investigated by manipulating the lipid composition and reaction temperature. The studies of LNAs using dynamic light scattering (DLS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show decreased colloidal stability with the incorporation of PdNPs compared to their counterpart 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) liposomes without PdNPs. LNAs with PdNPs catalyze the hydrogenation of 1-octene and its isomers to octane under one a
