Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) using conditional data analysis was applied to aqueous suspensions of palladium particles in the reformate water of palladium-based proton exchange membrane fuel cells. A significant amount of palladium was found in the water, indicating degradation of the fuel-cell cathode catalytic layers. The palladium particle-size detection limit was found to be ...

Schiff base 2–Hydroxy–5–methoxy Benzaldehyde – Tris [HMBT] Ligand is a new chromogenic reagent have not been used so far for the determination of copper and palladium in trace quantities. Effect of p H on wave height for COPPER[HMBT] PALLADIUM –[HMBT] systems have been studied at p H 7-8.5 and 8.5-11.5 for Copper and Palladium respectively in 0.1 m molar NaNo3 and 0.002 % Triton –x–100 which in...

Bamboo-like nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) were used to synthesize supported palladium catalysts (0.2–2 wt.%) for hydrogen production via gas phase formic acid decomposition. The beneficial role of nitrogen centers N-CNTs in the formation active isolated ions and dispersed nanoparticles was demonstrated. It shown that although surface layers are enriched with graphitic nitrogen, first...

The palladium nanoparticles were immobilized on DNA-modified multi walled carbon nanotubes as stable and powerful heterogeneous catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma and elemental analysis. DNA as a well-defined structure and...
