Anchoring PdAg alloys on self-crosslinked carbon dots as efficient catalysts for formic acid dehydrogenation under ambient conditions

The optimized Pd 0.9 Ag 0.1 /CDs catalyst can catalyze complete dehydrogenation of FA in 9.5 min with a TOF value of 617 h −1 at 298 K. This work provides a simple approach for the fabrication of CDs supported highly distributed PdAg alloy catalysts.
