    Hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde Using Carbon Dots Reduced Palladium Nanoparticles

    Carbon dots (CDs) with a size range of 0.2 to 2 nm were prepared using a hydrothermal treatment of sucrose and oleic acid. The as-synthesized CDs were used to reduce H2PdCl4 to metallic Pd nanoparticles with dPd ...
