15 - 214Template-Assisted Growth of Hexagonal Poly- or Single-CrystallineQuasi-2D Palladium Nanoparticles. — Single-crystalline and poly-crystalline palladium nanoparticles are obtained by reducing a PdCl2-graphiteintercalation (GIC) precursor in hydrogen gas. The hexagonal symmetry ofthe carbon host lattice is found to impose a hexagonal symmetry on the Pdatoms, producing a commensurate superstructure of the host. — (WALTER,JUERGEN; Adv. Mater.
