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.

The oxidation of pure V(2)O(3) and Pd/V(2)O(3) films was studied by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED) in the temperature range 673-773 K. Thin films of V(2)O(3) were prepared by reactive deposition of V metal in
Experimentally, decomposition of NO on the alkalized Pd/Al2O3 catalyst is remarkably enhanced at 825-1000 K. The enhancement in N2 yield may be due to the additional basic sites on the alkalized catalyst that can trap NO molecules. However, at T

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
The preparation of carbon nanotube (CNT)/PdO nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO)/PdO nanoparticle hybrids via a general aqueous solution strategy is reported. The PdO nanoparticles are generated in situ on the CNTs and GO by a one-step "green" synthetic approach in
