“…PGMs sustain high physicochemical stability and unique catalytic properties, thus making them indispensable in chemical industry, most notably in automobile catalytic converters. 3,4 Moreover, Pd has been used as a key catalyst for various cross coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Sonogashira, Heck, Negishi, Stille and Buchwald-Hartwig reactions. [5][6][7][8] Pd also plays a critical role as a catalyst in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), in hydrogen storage and purification.…”
