Carbon-supported late transition-metal nanoparticles are promising catalysts and electrocatalysts for wide-ranging applications. However, experimental investigations of the bonding energetics of metal nanoparticles on carbon supports are very limited. Here, in this work, we report heats of adsorption of Pd vapor deposited onto single-layer graphene(0001) supported on Ni(111) at 100 and 300 K as Pd grows particles of well-defined size in the range from three atom clusters to 6 nm diameter. Sizes were determined from He⁺ low-energy ion scattering (LEIS). In this size range, the differential heat of Pd adsorption increases from 228 kJ/mol to within 10 kJ/mol of the heat of sublimation of bulk Pd (377 kJ/mol). The chemical potential of metal atoms in these nanoparticles as a function of average particle size was determined from these results. The adhesion energy at the Pd/graphene(0001)/Ni(111) interface was extracted from these data and found to be 3.5 J/m² for the largest Pd particles. For the three metal elements that have now been studied (Pd, Ni, and Ag), we found an increase in metal/graphene(0001)/Ni(111) adhesion energy with metal carbophilicity, which we defined here as the heat of C atom adsorption on that metal’s (111) surface estimated from published density functional theory calculations.
