Effects of calcination treatment on samples of mono-metallic Pd and Pd77-Ag23 alloy with primary particles around 8 nm were studied with the temperature-programmed reduction technique. Temperature profiles of hydrogen consumption for calcined samples from a stream of 10% H2 in N2 were monitored by a thermal conductivity detector. Two distinct peaks, i.e., a consumption of hydrogen for PdO reduction and a subsequent desorption of hydrogen from bulk palladium hydride, were observed. The extent of palladium oxidation upon calcinations increased with the temperature of calcination (T o): i.e., chemisorption of oxygen on particle surface upon calcination at T o < 373 K, reconstruction into a surface PdO structure at 473 K and incorporation into sublayers to form bulk PdO structure at high T o. Minimum temperature (T r) required for reduction of oxidized palladium by the hydrogen stream was generally low (150 K < T r < 320 K) and increased with the extent of oxidation. A quantitative measurement of hydrogen desorbed from reduced samples suggested a formation of alloy phase in freshly prepared Ag77−Pd23 primary particles. The freshly prepared alloy was inhomogeneous in composition but became homogeneous upon calcination at T o > 673 K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
