Reaction Acceleration of Nanoporous High-Purity Pd Film Formation by Dealloying of Al-Pd-N Film in pH-Controlled EDTA Solution
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 January 2020
Abstract
Metallic palladium (Pd) is used for hydrogen storage and detection. Fabrication of a nanoporous (NP) Pd structure can increase the specific surface area leading to a significant improvement in the sensitivity. In our previous study, we succeeded in forming a NP-Pd film by dealloying an Al-Pd alloy film using citric acid as a chelating agent. This method was environmentally friendly but had a long reaction time and a considerable amount of Al remained after dealloying; hence, the Pd purity was reduced. In this study, we succeeded in forming a higher purity NP-Pd film faster by dealloying the nitrogen-containing Al-Pd (Al-Pd-N) film using ethylene-diamine-tetraacetic-acid (EDTA) as a chelating material.
