| Abstract: | We report a novel biochemical method based on the sacrificial hydrogen strategy to synthesise bimetallic Au/Pd nanoparticles supported on bacterial cells. The synergistic effect of Au/Pd over monometallic preparations was demonstrated in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol. The bioinorganic catalysts outperformed a commercial Pd catalyst (5% Pd/C) showing no deactivation and high selectivity towards benzaldehyde. |
