Pd nanomaterials can be cheaper alternative catalysts for the electrocatalytic formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) in fuel cells. The size and shape of the nanoparticles and crystal engineering can play a crucial role in enhancing the catalytic activities of Pd nanostructures. A systematic study on the effect of varying the morphol. of Pd nanostructures on their catalytic activities for FAOR is reported here. Palladium nanoparticles (Pd0D), nanowires (Pd1D) and nanosheets (Pd2D) could be synthesized by using swollen liquid crystals as ‘soft’ templates. Swollen liquid crystals are lyotropic liquid crystals that are formed from a quaternary mixture of a surfactant, cosurfactant, brine and Pd salt dissolved in oil. Pd1D nanostructures exhibited 2.7 and 19 fold higher c.d. than Pd0D and Pd2D nanostructures in the FAOR. The Pd1D nanostructure possess higher electrochem. active surface area (ECSA), better catalytic activity, stability, and lower impedance to charge transfer when compared to the Pd0D and Pd2D nanostructures. The presence of relatively higher amounts of crystal defects and enriched (100) crystal facets in the Pd1D nanostructure were found to be the reasons for their enhanced catalytic activities. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0)(cas: 51364-51-3SDS of cas: 51364-51-3)
Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0)(cas: 51364-51-3) is used in the preparation of semiconducting polymers processed from nonchlorinated solvents into high performance thin film transistors.SDS of cas: 51364-51-3It is used as catalyst for the synthesis of epoxides, alpha-arylation of ketones, in combination with BINAP for the asymmetric heck arylation of olefins, site-selective benzylic sp3 palladium-catalyzed direct arylation and homoallylic diamination of terminal olefins.
