The sintering of supported metal nanoparticles is a major route to the deactivation of industrial heterogeneous catalysts, which largely increase the cost and decrease the productivity. Here, we discover that supported palladium/gold/platinum nanoparticles distributed at the interface of oxide supports
Owing to their highly open structure and a large number of low-coordination sites on the surface, noble-metal nanoframes are intriguing for catalytic applications. Here, we demonstrate the rational synthesis of Ru cuboctahedral nanoframes with enhanced catalytic performance toward hydrazine decomposition.
For patch testing, replacement of the commonly used palladium dichloride (PdCl2) by sodium tetrachloropalladate (Na2[PdCl4]) was recently demonstrated to improve test accuracy and show a significant correlation with nickel (Ni), supporting the concept of cross-reactivity between Pd and Ni. A
The effects of Na2PdCl4 were studied on isolated rat liver mitochondrial electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation in vitro. Significant reductions in ADP-stimulated respiration were observed with increasing Na2PdCl4 concentrations with both succinate and NADH-linked substrate oxidations. Concentration necessary for half-maximal
The use of a palladium (Pd) catalyst has been proposed to promote combustion of tobacco, thereby reducing concentrations of certain toxic components of smoke, including polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In the present work, toxicological comparisons were made using experimental cigarettes containing
