Atomic layer deposition was used to prepare Pd nanoparticles with narrow size distribution on TiO2(110). We report here the decomposition pathways of palladium (II) hexafluoroacetylacetonate (Pd(hfac)2) on the single crystal TiO2(110) surface as elucidated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).
