Va. Semikolenov et al., SINTERING OF PD PARTICLES ON THE SURFACE OF CARBON SUPPORTS IN HYDROGEN, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 51(2), 1993, pp. 507-515
High resolution electron microscopy methods have been used to study th
e sintering of Pd particles on the surface of carbon support. It was f
ound that geometric non-uniformities, fractures and edge planes of gra
phite-like carbon, can function as localization centers of Pd particle
