Determination of the local structure of a highly dispersed Pd-Nanosystem located on a titanium dioxide carrier

This work is devoted to a structural study of a highly dispersed Pd nanosystem, which is stabilized in the TiO2 matrix, by XAFS spectroscopy. Nanocomposite was prepared from bimetallic PdCo(mu-OOCMe)(4)(NCMe) precursor followed by processing in several ways: calcination in air and in argon and microwave irradiation. The local structure of Pd catalysts formed by different…
