Palladium(II) oxide

Ref. 3D-BAA31408

Product Information

• Name: Palladium(II) oxide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: The photocurrent of palladium oxide is a function of its particle size and the amount of water vapor present. Palladium oxide is an efficient catalyst for oxidation reactions, with high values of kinetic energy. The reaction mechanism involves the formation of a palladium acid complex, which is then reduced to form hydrogen gas. Palladium oxide has been used in photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, but it is not suitable for catalytic applications due to its low thermal expansion coefficient. Palladium oxide can be prepared by heating a mixture of palladium nitrate and sodium carbonate, or by heating a mixture of ammonium carbonate and anhydrous ammonia.
