The effect of the driving force on the growth of palladium nanoparticles was systematically investigated through comparative analysis of different reduction methods. Ascorbic acid was found to promote the formation of smaller, more tightly spaced palladium nanoparticles and reduce dendritic growth. Real-time observation of the nanoparticle formation process was achieved through electrochemical water splitting.
We systematically investigate the effect of the driving force on the growth of palladium nanoparticles by comparing electrochemical reduction of polyvinylpyrollidone-stabilized palladium nitrate solution with chemical reduction by ascorbic acid using in-situ liquid cell transmission electron microscopy. Electro-chemical data is simultaneously collected while high spatial resolution is maintained. As a chemical reductant, ascorbic acid results in the formation of smaller, more tightly spaced palladium nanoparticles through increased nucleation. When present during electrochemical reduction of palladium, ascorbic acid reduces the degree to which dendrites form due to the growth of a more compact palladium layer. Because the nanoparticles formed during chemical reduction have diameters on the order of a nano -meter and are invisible under full liquid conditions, we employ electrochemical water splitting to generate a gas bubble in order to observe the process in real time. This is a step towards real-time characterization of complex solution-phase growth in which multiple pathways exist for metals to reduce and combinations of additives interact to control size and shape.
