Surface Pd-rich PdAg nanowires as highly efficient catalysts for dehydrogenation of formic acid and subsequent hydrogenation of adiponitrile

Surface Pd-rich PdAg nanowires with tunable composition prepared by diffusion-induced synthesis exhibit highly efficient dehydrogenation catalysis of formic acid (FA) and subsequent hydrogenation of adiponitrile by using FA as an in situ hydrogen source.
