Abstract

The field of catalysis is one of the most important areas of the nano-sciences for many years. in deed the goal of having a catalyst, with the maximum active area exposed to a chemical reaction, has produced enormous amount of research in nanoparticles. Particularly, the metal nanoparticles study is a very important field in catalysis. Electron Microscopy is one of the techniques that have played a mayor role on studding nanoparticles. Since bright field images, dark field techniques, to the high-resolution atomic images of nanoparticles and more recently the High Angle Annular dark field images or Z-contrast. However this technique provides only indirect evidence of the atomic arrangements on the particles. High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM) still appears as a very powerful technique to study nanoparticles and their internal structure. Among the most interesting metals to study is the palladium, which acts for instance as excellent catalyst for hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons and has many other applications such as environmental catalysts.
