Abstract

Uniformly dispersed Rh nanoparticles on silicate intercalated magnesium-aluminium hydrotalcite were prepared for the first time by an incipient wetness method. FT-IR and powder XRD studies confirmed the presence of a layered structure even after Rh loading. Uniform distribution of Rh nanoparticles on HT materials was confirmed by HR-TEM. The resultant Rh nanoparticle supported HT materials showed good catalytic activity for hydroisomerization of 1-octene.
