Palladium clusters have been synthesized by the "ship-in-a-bottle" approach in the supercages of NaX and NaY faujasite zeolites. In comparison with CO adsorbed on a bulk Pd electrode, the same molecule adsorbed on the Pd clusters electrodes evoked an enhanced IR absorption (EIRA). The enhancement factors have been determined to be about 38 and 51 in NaX and NaY, respectively. IR band centers of linear-bonded CO, bridge-bonded CO, and multi-bonded CO in NaX are measured, respectively, 12, 14, and 11 cm(-1) lower than those of the corresponding adsorption modes in NaY. The adsorption of CO and the oxidation of adsorbed CO in NaX matrix are faster than that in NaY matrix. These results suggest that part of the Pd2+ ions in NaX are located in sites III and III' that are near the 12-ring window of the supercage of zeolite, which lead to the formation of small Pd clusters. The present study is of significant importance in exploring the dependence of catalyst properties on structures, as well as in understanding and predicting the locations and properties of metal clusters in zeolites.

Phenylacetylene is a detrimental impurity in the polymerisation of styrene, capable of poisoning catalysts even at ppm levels and significantly degrading the quality of polystyrene. The semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene instead of ethylbenzene is, therefore, an important industrial process. We report a novel cerium(iv)-based metal-organic framework (denoted as Ce-bptc), which comprises {Ce} clusters bridged by biphenyl-3,3',5,5'-tetracarboxylate linkers.

The sustainable and affordable environmental application of Pd catalysis needs further improvement of Pd mass activity. Besides the well-recognized importance of physical utilization efficiency─the ratio of surface atoms forming reactant-accessible reactive sites─a lesser-known fact is that the congestion of these reactive sites, which we term as the chemical utilization efficiency, also influences the mass activity. Herein, by leveraging the 100% physical utilization efficiency of a fully exposed Pd cluster (Pd) and the hydrogenation activity of TiNiN, we developed Pd/TiNiN as a high physical and chemical utilization efficiency catalyst.

In this study, we present a comprehensive approach for the morphological analysis of palladium on carbon (Pd/C) nanoparticles utilizing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging and advanced deep learning techniques. A deep learning detection model based on an attention mechanism was implemented to accurately identify and delineate small nanoparticles within unlabeled SEM images. Following detection, a graph-based network was employed to analyze the structural characteristics of the nanoparticles, while density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise was utilized to cluster the detected nanoparticles, identifying meaningful patterns and distributions.

Using density functional theory, we carefully calculated the relative stability of monolayer, few-layer, and cluster structures with Penta PdSe, T-phase PdSe, and PdSe-phase. We found that the stability of Penta PdSe increases with the number of layers. The Penta PdSe, T-phase PdSe, and PdSe monolayers are all semiconducting, with band gaps of 1.
