Hollow carbon nanonets (HCN), which are attractive materials for catalyst support, were fabricated using the pre-synthesized hematite nanoparticles as the hard template. And then the HCN supported Pd nanoparticles (Pd/HCN) were prepared by precipitation-reduction method. The catalytic performance of Pd/HCN was investigated using Suzuki and Heck coupling reactions as model reactions. The results demonstrated that the as-prepared Pd/ ...
