Preparation of palladium-loaded polymer hydrogel catalysts with high durability and recyclability

To establish effective chemical transformations, catalytic systems with advantages such as high activity, recyclability, durability, and operability have attracted considerable attention. One of the strategies for the development of high-performance catalytic systems is the use of polymer hydrogels. In this focus review, an overview of our research using poly( N -isopropyl acrylamide)-based hydrogel particles and macroporous monoliths as molecular catalysts and loading matrices for palladium catalysts is summarized.
