The natural polymer chitosan was modified with polyvinyl alcohol to enhance the mechanical properties of the membrane, and then, the montmorillonite-modified chitosan-loaded palladium catalyst was prepared using the excellent coordination properties of montmorillonite. The results showed that the catalyst has good tensile strength, thermal stability, catalytic activity, and recycling performance and is a green catalytic material with industrial application potential.
