Abstract

Herein, the direct synthesis of polypyrrole (PPy)-coated palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) inside a metal-organic framework (MIL-101) was successfully demonstrated. Owing to the PPy coating of PdNPs, the resulting composites exhibited higher semihydrogenation capability (selectivity: up to 96%) than the analog composite without PPy coating.
