Microbial production of molecular scale palladium (PD) nanoparticles (NPs) is important due to their catalytic function in selective electrochemical oxidation of a number of core fuel molecules in fuel cells.
In paper electrode materials with palladium nanoparticles on polymer matrix substrates for energy sources have been formed. Nanocomposites were investigated by atomic force and scanning electron microscopy. The catalytic activity of formed electrodes in the formic acid oxidation reaction was evaluated by voltammetry method.
