Pd significantly reduces the energy barrier to dehydrogenation in methanol steam reforming, and it is predicted that the methanol reforming reaction is also size dependent on Pd. The primary goal of the current work is to report the influence of Pd nanoparticle size on catalyst activity in methanol steam reforming.
