Chitosan supported Palladium nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple cost effective chemical reduction method using NaBH{sub 4}. The prepared nanocomposite was characterized by X-Ray diffraction analysis, FESEM and Energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis of X-rays (EDAX). The catalytic performance of the nanocomposite was evaluated on the reduction of 2-Nitrophenol to the 2-Amino phenol with rate constant 1.08 × 10{sup −3} S{sup −1} by NaBH{sub 4} using Spectrophotometer.
