Due to their attractive properties such as high surface area, large pore volume, uniform and adjustable mesostructure and pore size and thermal stability, ordered mesoporus carbon (OMC) materials have found an excessive applications in several fields such as adsorption and separation, drug delivery, catalysis and energy storage. Recently, various precursors are utilized for the construction of the heteroatom doped OMC materials through soft or hard templating approaches. In this study, highly ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) with hexagonal structure was synthesized using carbon precursor derived from egg biomass. Biomass-derived carbon materials have advantages over other carbon materials in terms of low cost and availability. The process of regular mesoporous carbon synthesis was performed by nanocasting using SBA-15 as a hard template and carbonization under nitrogen atmosphere at different temperatures. Palladium nanoparticles were prepared and stabilized on OMC by chemical reduction of Pd2+ in the ppresence of ordered mesoporous carbon. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by SEM, EDX, TEM, XRD and FT-IR teqniques. Prepared palladium nanoparticles supported on ordered mesoporous carbon exhibited high catalytic activity in the formylation reaction of amines using DMF.
