Heterostructured Pd/PdO nanowires for selective and efficient CO2 electroreduction to CO

Tian-Jiao Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, high-quality one-dimensional heterostructured Pd/PdO nanowires (Pd/PdO H-NWs) were successfully synthesized using a facile Pd-II-complex pyrolysis method. The Pd/PdO H-NWs exhibit excellent performance in CO2ER, with high CO Faraday efficiency and stable catalytic process. The study also reveals that the Pd/PdO heterostructure can significantly improve the CO adsorption on Pd sites, enhancing the catalytic performance.

Nanocomposite Hydrogel of Pd@ZIF-8 and Laponite® : Size-Selective Hydrogenation Catalyst under Mild Conditions

Papri Sutar et al.

Summary: The composite hydrogel of Pd@ZIF-8 and Laponite nanoclay shows enhanced thermal stability and better size-selective catalytic activity compared to pristine ZIF-8, due to the charge-assisted self-assembly.

Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles in Caries Prevention: A Review

Mohammed Zahedul Islam Nizami et al.

Summary: Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles exhibit significant antimicrobial activity by interfering with bacterial metabolism, preventing biofilm formation, and releasing metal ions. Fluoride-functionalised nanoparticles enhance apatite formation, promote remineralisation, and inhibit demineralisation. Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are easily scalable for production and have been widely incorporated in dental materials.

Effect of core and surface area toward hydrogen gas sensing performance using Pd@ZnO core-shell nanoparticles

Thuy T. D. Nguyen et al.

Summary: A versatile hydrogen gas sensor was fabricated using Pd@ZnO core-shell nanoparticles synthesized through a hydrothermal route. The optimal sensor, Pd@ZnO-2, demonstrated superior performance compared to Pd@ZnO-1 and pure ZnO, with higher response, faster response and recovery times to 100 ppm hydrogen at 350 degrees C. The high selectivity of Pd@ZnO-2 sensor to hydrogen can be attributed to the higher metallic Pd content remaining in the sample after calcination in argon.
