Abstract

The combination of a polydopamine interface, solvothermal seeding of Pd(OAc)₂, and ALD Al₂O₃ overcoat enables the formation of evenly-coated, ultralow Pd loading Ni foam monolith materials. The robust, easy to handle materials display excellent catalytic reactivity towards the hydrogenation of variably-functionalized nitroaromatics and styrenes at low temperatures and H₂ pressure.
