“…The catalytic performance of Pd nanoparticles can be optimized by adjusting their size and morphology, therefore reducing the amount of this noble metal catalyst in various catalytic reactions as much as possible. Recently, significant progress has been made, using various methods, for shape-controlled syntheses of Pd nanoparticles, such as cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, concave, flake, rod, and linear Pd nanoparticles [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21]. Among the methods used to create shape-controlled syntheses of precious metal nanoparticles, one efficient strategy includes the introduction of small adsorbents, such as halogen ions, to selectively adsorb on specific crystal planes to change crystal growth.…”
