Abstract:In this work, the catalytic activity of copper-palladium (Cu-Pd) nanoparticles (NPs) is studied for formic acid oxidation. The Cu-Pd NPs were synthesized in a toluene/water system at room temperature. The synthesis of organic phase containing the metal ions was carried out as follows: the aqueous solutions containing the cooper and palladium metals ions, Cu(NO3)2 and PdCl2. Cu and Pd were mixed in appropriate amounts to obtain aqueous solution with 1:1 molar ratios of Cu:Pd. The toluene solution of hexadecylam… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
