Abstract

Palladium (Pd) has attracted substantial academic interest due to its remarkable properties and extensive applications in many industrial processes and commercial devices. The development of Pd nanocrystals (NCs) would contribute to reduce overall precious metal loadings, and allow the efficient utilization of energy at lower economic costs. Furthermore, some of the important properties of Pd NCs can be substantially enhanced by rational designing and tight controlling of both size and shape. In this review, we have summarized the state-of-the-art research progress in the shape and size-controlled synthesis of noble-metal Pd NCs, which is based on the wet-chemical synthesis. Pd NCs have been categorized into five types: (1) single-crystalline Pd nano-polyhedra with well-defined low-index facets (e.g. {100}, {111} and {110}); (2) single-crystalline Pd nano polyhedra with well-defined high-index facets, such as Pd tetrahexahedra with {hk0} facets; (3) Pd NCs with cyclic penta-twinned structure, including icosahedra and decahedra; (4) monodisperse spherical Pd nanoparticles; (5) typical anisotropic Pd NCs, such as nanoframes, nanoplate, nanorods/wires. The synthetic approach and growth mechanisms of these types of Pd NCs are highlighted. The key factors that control the structures, including shapes (surface structures), twin structures, single-crystal nanostructures, and sizes are carefully elucidated. We also introduce the detailed characterization tools for analysis of Pd NCs with a specific type. The challenges faced and perspectives on this promising field are also briefly discussed. We believe that the detailed studies on the growth mechanisms of NCs provide a powerful guideline to the rational design and synthesis of noble-metal NCs with enhanced properties.
