Pd, Rh, and Rh-Pd nanoparticles are deposited on Aluminum powder via spontaneous redox reactions in aqueous solutions at room temperature.
Aluminum supported metals, an easy preparation catalysts, used for aqueous phase polybrominated diphenyl ethers in sc-CO2.
The conditions for hydrobromination are green, hydrodebrominating 4- and 4,4′-bromodiphenyl ethers into diphenyl ether in sc-CO2 below 100 °C.
Hydrogenolysis of diphenyl ether producing cyclohexanol and cyclohexane is the minor reaction route.
