Carbon dot reduced palladium nanoparticles as active catalysts for carbon–carbon bond formation

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Carbon dots were used as a reducing agent for the synthesis of Pd nanoparticles coated with ultrathin carbon dot shells of ca. 4 nm. The resulting composite nanoparticles showed high catalytic activity for the Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions.
