A comparison between zeolite Y-palladium nanoparticles and zeolite X-palladiumnanoparticles synthesized by ultrasonic irradiation in carbon-carbon couplingreaction as catalyst

In this study, synthesis of zeolites X-palladium nanoparticles (Z-X-Pd NPs) and Y-palladiumnanoparticles (Z-Y-Pd NPs) were studied. First, Z-Y and Z-X were synthesized by ultrasonic irradiation andhydrothermal methods, respectively and then Pd NPs were deposited on the sufrace of them by the use ofultrasonic treatment. Then the catalytic activity of these prepared zeolites in carbon-carbon coupling reactionwere investigated. The Study shows that Z-Y-Pd NPs has better catalytic activity compared to Z-X-Pd NPs.
