Enhanced hydrogenation catalyst synthesized by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans exposed to a radio frequency magnetic field

Summary Desulfovibrio desulfuricans reduces Pd(II) to Pd(0)‐nanoparticles (Pd‐NPs) which are catalytically active in 2‐pentyne hydrogenation. To make Pd‐NPs, resting cells are challenged with Pd(II) ions (uptake), followed by addition of electron donor to promote bioreduction of cell‐bound Pd(II) to...
