Formation of PdIn intermetallic nanoparticles supported on α-Al₂O₃ was investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and hydrogen temperature-programmed desorption (H₂-TPD) methods. The metals were loaded as heterobimetallic Pd(μ-O₂CMe)₄In(O₂CMe) complex to ensure intimate contact between Pd and In. Reduction in H₂ at 200 °C resulted in Pd-rich PdIn alloy as evidenced by XRD and the disappearance of Pd hydride. A minor amount of Pd₁In₁ intermetallic phase appeared after reduction at 200 °C and its formation was accomplished at 400 °C. Neither monometallic Pd or in nor other intermetallic structures were found after reduction at 400⁻600 °C. Catalytic performance of Pd₁In₁/α-Al₂O₃ was studied in the selective liquid-phase diphenylacetylene (DPA) hydrogenation. It was found that the reaction rate of undesired alkene hydrogenation is strongly reduced on Pd₁In₁ nanoparticles enabling effective kinetic control of the hydrogenation, and the catalyst demonstrated excellent selectivity to alkene.

Bimetallic nanoparticles have been extensively studied as electrocatalysts due to their superior catalytic activity and selectivity compared to their monometallic counterparts. The properties of bimetallic materials depend on the ordering of the metals in the structure, and to tailor-make materials for specific applications, it is important to be able to control the atomic structure of the materials during synthesis. Here, we study the formation of bimetallic palladium indium nanoparticles to understand how the synthesis parameters and additives used influence the atomic structure of the obtained product.

Intermetallic nanoparticles (NPs) are highly interesting materials in catalysis due to their geometrically ordered structures and altered electronic properties, but the synthesis of defined intermetallic NPs remains a challenge. Here, we report a novel and facile approach for the synthesis of intermetallic Pd-In NPs in ionic liquids (ILs) at moderate temperatures. Depending on the molar ratio of the metal precursors and the reaction temperature, single-phase PdIn, PdIn and PdIn NPs were obtained, which was confirmed, by powder X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and optical emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma.

A study of the high-temperature electrochemical selective dissolution of PdIn intermetallics in molten mixtures of alkali chlorides with the formation of nanoporous structures has been carried out to obtain a coherent structure consisting of PdIn and PdIn intermetallics. The smallest pore size (approximately 100 nanometers) with a bi-continuous structure of PdIn-PdIn is obtained from the PdIn intermetallic phase at a temperature of 450 °C and a current density of 50 mA cm in a molten LiCl-KCl eutectic. It has been shown that the temperature of the anodic dissolution process is the most important factor in controlling the pore size and structural morphology.

Intermetallic nanocrystals are a large family of emerging materials with extensive applications in many fields. Yet, a generalized synthetic method for intermetallic nanocrystals is lacking. Here, we report the development of a colloidal synthesis method based on amalgamation of monometallic nanocrystal seeds with low-melting point metals.
