Abstract:
A green strategy for the facile preparation and effective stabilization of Pd nanoparticles has been developed by using D-glucose as the reducing and stabilizing agents. The UV/vis absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and zeta potential measurements were used to characterize the as-prepared Pd nanoparticles. It was found that the D-glucose concentration and pH value had an important effect on the size distribution and stability of the nanoparticles. Further, the Pd nanoparticles exhibited good catalytic properties in the degradation of azo dyes.
