Carbon nanosheet (CNS)-Pd nanosized particle (NP) composites were synthesized by using graphite oxide (GO) and bis(ethylenediamine)palladium(II) (Pd(en)(2)(2+)) as the precursors, and their structure and adsorption properties were examined. It was found that the Pd(en)(2)(2+) complex ions can be intercalated into GO layers highly efficiently to form a layered structure containing a large amount of Pd (similar to 12 wt %). By the subsequent chemical reduction, Pd NPs (2-6 nm in size) are well dispersed between CNS to form a CNS Pd NP composite and serve as spacers to increase the porosity of the composite. Hydrogen adsorption results demonstrate that both Pd NPs and CNS play important roles in hydrogen adsorption, particularly at a lower temperature and for CNS with deficient sites, which bring about a H-2 adsorption greater than those on other Pd-loaded nanocarbon materials reported so far. The unique composite nanostructure having large contents of Pd NPs (20-25 wt %) stabilized by CNSs is hopeful to be applied to the fields of H-2-related catalysis, sensing, and so forth.
