Formation and growth of palladium nanoparticles inside porous poly(4-vinyl-pyridine) monitored by operando techniques: The role of different reducing agents
Operando H2-reduction of Pd(OAc)2 in P4VP was followed by SAXS/XANES/IR. Combined SAXS/XANES shed light to both Pd oxidation state and particle size. Interaction of Pd(OAc)2 in P4VP with EtOH and IPA was followed by operando DRIFT. Interaction of Pd(OAc)2 in P4VP with EtOH and IPA is not “innocent”. H2-reduction of Pd(OAc)2 in P4VP is compared with EtOH and 2-propanol.
