Controllable synthesis of hydroxyapatite-supported palladium nanoparticles with enhanced catalytic activity
Abstract
A multi-stage electrochemical method was developed to synthesize palladium (Pd) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings. In the first stage, a dense coating of HA nanocrystals was synthesized from an aqueous electrolyte solution onto a titanium cathode surface through a galvanostatic process. The HA-coated titanium electrode was then used as the cathode for the electrochemical reduction of Pd2+ from aqueous solution. A synthesis approach using two sequential electrochemical reduction reactions was found to be more e ective in producing uniform coatings of Pd nanoparticles than a single stage reduction. In the first step, a higher voltage was applied to the cathode for a short time to promote the nucleation of Pd nanoparticles. A lower voltage was then applied for a longer time in the second stage to promote the growth of the Pd nanoparticles. The size and size distribution of the Pd nanoparticles were controlled by adjusting the duration of the first and second stages of electrochemical reduction. The resulting HA supported Pd nanoparticles demonstrated significantly higher catalytic activity than commercial Pd nanoparticles in the degradation of methyl orange by NaBH4. The high surface area and the complex oxidation states of the HA-supported Pd nanoparticles are believed to account formore »
