Polyol synthesis of palladium hydride: bulk powders vs.nanocrystals

Abstract

Palladium is converted into palladium hydride, β-PdHx, in polyol solution using NaBH4 as a hydrogen source; nanocrystalline Pd reacts to form PdHx faster and at lower temperatures than bulk Pd, and can be made to release hydrogen to regenerate Pd.
