Spherical Ag-Pd alloy particles were prepared from aqueous solutions of AgNO 3 and Pd NO 3 2 by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. As-prepared powders were dense and non-agglomerated particles, which had sub-micron size and narrow size distribution. XRD shows that as-prepared particles are polycrystalline and the crystal phase of the as-prepared particles has an alloy composition. Ag-Pd particles obtained from spray pyrolysis offer superior oxidation-resistivity of Pd as compared with those obtained from coprecipitation.
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.
