“…Palladium is a well known catalyst for many reactions such as electrocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde [37,38], hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons [39], oxidation of alcohols, and is routinely used in the automobile industry in catalytic converters to reduce the amounts of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and un-burned hydrocarbons [40]. Palladium is used in electronic industry, in view of its excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, good solderability and lower density, in the development of biosensors, and has been exploited as a component in an enzymatic glucose biosensor [41] as well as for detection of catecholamine [42] and DNA [43]. The initial electronucleation of a metal is dependent on parameters such as type and source of metal ion, concentration of metal ion, electrolyte and the substrate on which deposition takes place.…”
