Bimetallic PdM (M = Ni, Co, Fe) nanoparticles were synthesized using butyllithium as a reductant, and were used to prepare Pd-M (x) O (y) /KIT-6 catalysts by appropriate oxidation and reduction treatments. These catalysts showed higher selectivity in the hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene to p-chloroaniline than Pd/KIT-6. Relevant characterization was conducted using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, N-2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, inductive coupled plasma emission spectrometer, and H-2 temperature-programmed reduction.
