In the past, palladium as a member of the platinum group metals was mainly known as an
expensive noble metal. Probably, only fast hydrogen absorption into bulk palladium …

Modern trends in studying the influence of the support on the electronic state, morphology,
and catalytic properties of supported metal particles are reviewed. The analysis of new …

Results of the last decade with respect to the selective hydrogenation of hydrocarbons with
multiple unsaturation (dienes and alkynes) over heterogeneous palladium catalysts are …

Nanostructured spinel cobalt ferrite samples having crystallite size ranging between 5.6 and
14.1 nm were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray induced Auger …

The synthesis of supported palladium catalysts is reviewed with emphasis on a summary of
the chemistry of catalyst synthesis, oxide and carbon support properties and case studies …

The important role that surface chemical analysis methods can and should play in the
characterization of nanoparticles is described. The types of information that can be obtained …

The general principles of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) as applied in the field of
heterogeneous catalysis are reviewed. In particular, the use of this technique in the …

Alumina-supported palladium-copper catalysts, which promote liquid-phase nitrate
reduction, have been prepared according to different impregnation sequences of γ-Al2O3 …

This paper examines the types of information that XPS can provide about a variety of
nanostructured materials. Although it is sometimes not considered a “nanoscale analysis …

Hydrogen production by partial oxidation of methanol (CH3OH+ 1/2O2↔ 2H2+ CO2) was
studied over zinc oxide-supported Pd catalysts. Catalyst performance was investigated as a …
