Synthesis and characterization of palladium doped TiO(2) nanoparticles

In this paper, the synthesis of palladium doped TiO(2) nanoparticles (Pd/TiO(2)) via two microemulsion method, using n-heptane/AOT/water/NaBH(4) or PdCl2 are reported. The prepared Pd/TiO(2) nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray analyses EDX techniques. Synthesized nanoparticles were stable for about two months without any participation.
