Abstract

Abstract : Ethanol–water, a prototypical 'green' solvent mixture, cannot be considered as inert toward supported Pd nanoparticles. Abstract : Ethanol–water, a prototypical 'green' solvent mixture, cannot be considered as inert toward supported Pd nanoparticles. We establish severe size dependencies in Pd redox behavior, persistent gradients in Pd phase in a plug-flow situation, and that Pd nanoparticles are contaminated with hydrogen derived from the solvent.
