In Situ Green Synthesis of Pd Nanoparticles on Tannic Acid‐Modified Magnetite Nanoparticles as a Green Reductant and Stabilizer Agent: Its Application as a Recyclable Nanocatalyst (Fe3O4@TA/Pd) for Reduction of 4‐Nitrophenol and Suzuki Reactions

Abstract Tannic acid, as a humic‐like substance with phenolic hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups, can modify surface of Fe 3 O 4 NPs. Moreover, it can improve surface properties and capacity of Fe 3 O 4 for adsorption and reduction of palladium ions through complexing with them, in aqueous solutions. Therefore, Fe 3 O 4 @TA NPs have potentials of reducing, stabilizing and immobilizing palladium nano particles to generate novel magnetic palladium nanocatalysts. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectrum (EDS), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) methods unraveled the catalyst properties. Investigation of Fe 3 O 4 @TA/Pd NPs performance illustrated its recycle nature and high catalytic activity towards Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐coupling reactions and reduction of 4‐nitrophenol (4‐NP), at room temperature.
