Shape-controlled synthesis of surface-clean ultrathin palladium nanosheets by simply mixing a dinuclear PdI carbonyl chloride complex with H2O

摘要

Simple shape control: Ultrathin Pd nanosheets are readily fabricated by simply mixing [Pd2(μ-CO)2Cl4]2- with H2O at ambient temperature. The as-prepared Pd nanosheets are surface clean and serve as an excellent platform to evaluate the effect of organic capping agents on the catalytic and electrocatalytic properties of Pd nanocrystals.
