Abstract
This work investigates the impregnation of palladium into hollow carbon capsules through
a novel synthesis method. This work investigates the feasibility of the method, improves on
the method and suggests further improvements. The formation of palladium nanoparticles in
hollow carbon capsules is investigated by varying the loading of palladium. This is further
investigated by demonstrating the effect of other synthesis variables. The synthesized single
palladium sites supported on hollow carbon capsules are then investigated for catalytic
activity. These catalysts were found to be catalytically active for the Suzuki coupling
reaction.
