Preparation, Characterization and Electrochemical Behavior of Pd-Au Alloy Incorporated into Zeolites/Graphite Electrodes.

The present article reports the preparation of Pd-Au alloy incorporated into NaY zeolites layer via simple immersion technique. Pd-Au particles were incorporated into zeolites cages via Co-impregnation or alternate impregnation of metal ions. Cyclic voltammetry was used to evaluate the state of the modified electrodes in alkaline media. Surface morphology as well as elemental composition of the modified layer were examined using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
