Abstract
Preparation of a finely dispersed Pd-Y zeolite has been investigated by temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) techniques. Upon the treatment by a sequence of calcination, reduction, and reoxidation, the original Pd(NH3)42+ ions in the zeolite transformed to reactive species, which were reduced with hydrogen at room temperature and characterized as small PdO clusters of about 25 Pd atoms.
