Abstract

Ag-Pd bimetallic nanocrystals (NCs) with tunable compositions and narrow size distributions were produced by a one-pot synthesis. The NC growth process was investigated by time-dependent TEM, XRD, and UV-vis studies. In the hydrodechlorination of 4-chlorophenol, the AgPdx (x = 2, 4, 6, 9, 19) showed pronounced composition-dependent catalytic activities, leading to the AgPd9 catalyst with excellent activity.
