| Abstract | We report here the significant enhancement of catalytic activity of Ag–Pd bimetallic nanocatalysts with the formation of Ag–Pd catalysts having an average diameter of 4.2 ± 1.5 nm on TiO2 nanoparticles using a two-step microwave (MW)–polyol method. Data obtained using XRD and STEM-EDS indicated that Ag-Pd bimetallic nanocatalysts consisted of Ag82Pd18 alloy core and about 0.5 nm thick Pd shell, denoted as AgPd@Pd. The hydrogen production rate of AgPd@Pd/TiO2 from formic acid, 16.00 ± 0.89 L g−1 h−1, was 23 times higher than that of bare AgPd@Pd prepared under MW heating at 27 °C. It was even higher by 2–4 times than the best Ag@Pd and CoAuPd catalysts at 20–35 °C reported thus far. The apparent activation energy of the formic acid decomposition reaction using AgPd@Pd catalyst decreased from 22.8 to 7.2 kJ mol−1 in the presence of TiO2. Based on negative chemical shifts of the Pd peaks in the XPS data and the measured activation energies, the enhancement of catalytic activity in the presence of TiO2 was explained by the lowered energy barrier in the reaction pathways because of the strong electron-donating effects of TiO2 to Pd shells, which enhance the adsorption of formate to the catalyst and dehydrogenation from formate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
