Research Abstract |
To clarify the critical size of Pd nanoparticles in which strongly-bound hydrogen can exist, amineprotected Pd nanoparticles were successfully synthesized in the 2-5 nm range by an in-situ homoepitaxial growth of the Pd nuclei. Investigation on hydrogen storage properties of multiplytwinned Pd nanoparticles(15 and 40 nm), single crystalline hexahedral Pd nanoparticles(10 nm), and polycrystalline Pd nanoparticles(6. 6 nm) revealed that the hydrogen storage/release behaviors are greatly dependent on the crystal structure, shape, and size of the Pd nanoparticles and the hydrogen atoms are strongly bound in all particles.
