This paper presents a new gel combustion method to synthesize palladium nanoparticles, palladium oxide (PdO) nanoparticles and palladium-palladium oxide nanocomposites. In the proposed method, there are some effective parameters including palladium chloride concentration, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentration, acid concentration, solvent composition and combustion temperature that their values ...

background tyrosinase, as a copper-containing enzyme, is widely distributed in different levels of life span. it is also a key enzyme in melanin biosynthesis, which plays a crucial role in determining the color of mammalian skin and hair. objectives the current study aimed to determine the effect of a palladium complex on cresolase and catecholase reactions of mushroom tyrosinase (mt). material...

The primary objective of this paper is to enhance the water-vapor-adsorption capacity of multiwall-carbon-nanotube (MWCNT) from nitrogen gas by grafting sulfonic acid groups and doping palladium nanoparticles into the adsorbent. MWCNT has been selected to be modified because of having homogeneous adsorption energy compared to silica gel. As a result, it is capable of creating isotherm having sh...

Excess power production and other anomalous effects have been observed during the electrolysis of heavy water using palladium and palladium-boron alloys as the cathode materials. This study focused on hydrogen and deuterium loading into palladium and palladium-boron alloys. Improved calorimetry provided for the detection of the exothermic heat of absorption of deuterium into palladium and palla...

nowadays, palladium compounds due to their especial characteristics used in different industries, mainly in electrical power sources and chemical productions as a catalyst. therefore, pd concentration is increasing in our around that can be contaminant our environment due its toxic effects. in this work, a simple, selective and rapid flow injection method of analysis (fia) has been developed fo...

BACKGROUND Since the EU Nickel Directive came into force, concern has been raised that palladium may increasingly replace nickel in alloys used in jewellery and dentistry, and that it may cause as many allergy problems as nickel. OBJECTIVES (i) To investigate the clinical relevance of contact allergy to palladium resulting from the wearing of palladium-coated earrings, and (ii) to evaluate th...

We report herein the effect of palladium on the redox electrochemistry of ferrocene monocarboxylic acid encapsulated within an organically modified sol-gel glass network (ORMOSIL). It has been found that amount of palladium and its geometrical distribution significantly alter the redox electrochemistry of FcMCA. The geometrical distribution of palladium has been controlled by two methods: (i) p...

The performance of several palladium precatalysts, namely, palladium(II) acetate, palladium(0) nanoparticles encapsulated into poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers (Pd DENs), and palladium(II)-PAMAM complexes, in the Stille reaction between trichloro(phenyl)stannane and iodoarenes in water is compared. The reactivity of Pd DENs is similar or inferior to that of palladium(II) acetate, although th...

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...
