Nanopalladium Particles

Product Overview

Nanopalladium particles are nanoscale particles composed of palladium metal (Pd), characterized by a silver-white appearance. Palladium, a precious metal, exhibits exceptional chemical, physical, and electronic properties. These nanoparticles are typically synthesized using chemical reduction methods, where reducing agents such as sodium citrate, sodium borohydride, or hydrogen gas reduce palladium ions to metallic palladium. Protective agents like polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) are used to prevent particle aggregation. Due to their versatile properties, nanopalladium particles have widespread applications across multiple fields.
