Palladium presents an alternative material for PEM Fuel-Cell catalysis. Toward this end, different Palladium nanoparticles shapes were synthesized and characterized via XRD and TEM. Electrocatalytic activity trends were determined using Cyclic and Linear sweep voltammetry studies. Results from this study including the characterization and electrochemistry results will be presented.
