Structure and catalytic activity of ultrasmall Rh, Pd and (Rh + Pd) nanoparticles obtained by mediated electrosynthesis

Efficient mediated electrosynthesis of catalytically active ultrasmall mono- and bimetallic nanoparticles of Rh, Pd stabilized with CTAC was carried out in water.

Mediated electrochemical synthesis of metal nanoparticles

The review integrates and analyzes data of original studies on the mediated electrosynthesis of metal nanoparticles — a new efficient and environmentally attractive process for obtaining these particles in the solution bulk. The general principles and specific features of electrosynthesis of metal nanoparticles by mediated electroreduction of metal ions and complexes are considered. The discussed issues include the role of cyclic voltammetry in the development of this method, the method efficiency, some aspects of selection of mediators, and aggregation, stabilization and catalytic activity of the metal nanoparticles thus obtained. Analysis of the results of mediated electrosynthesis of Pd, Ag, PdAg, Au, Pt and Cu nanoparticles stabilized by various compounds and mediated electrogeneration of highly active metal particles is used as basic data for discussion.
