Palladium(II) oxide (PdO) is a p-type semiconductor with a band gap of 2.2-2.7 eV. It is widely used as an efficient catalyst for oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons and for fabrication of gas sensors.
Application
Ceria supported Palladium(II) oxide can be used as a catalyst for ozonation of oxalate, to enhance the degradation of recalcitrant organics in polluted water. PdO provides active sites for the decomposition of ozone to surface atomic oxygen. Itcan be used as a cocatalyst for partial oxidation of alcohols on the WO3catalyst.

Pd-modified TiO(2) prepared by thermal impregnation method was used in this study for photocatalytic oxidation of NO in gas phase. The physico-chemical properties of Pd/TiO(2) catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectrum analysis
Atomic steps at the surface of a catalyst play an important role in heterogeneous catalysis, for example as special sites with increased catalytic activity. Exposure to reactants can cause entirely new structures to form at the catalyst surface, and these
