Wire-gauge-based Pt\/Pd\/Pt-Pd (individually, sequentially, and simultaneously deposited) catalysts have been developed using formaldehyde and sodium formate as reducing agents. Various surface pretreatment methods like SnCl2 + PdCl2 seeding, oxalic acid etching, and HCl activation (etching) have been employed to obtain the desired noble metal coating. Minimum time duration was observed for simultaneously deposited catalysts using formaldehyde as a reducing agent. Prepared catalysts were characterized for noble metal deposition, coating kinetics, surface morphology, and binding energy. The catalyst was found to be active for H2 and O2 recombination reactions for hydrogen mitigation applications in nuclear reactors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma16196541","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,4]],"date-time":"2023-10-04T11:58:57Z","timestamp":1696420737000},"page":"6541","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Development of a Simple Electroless Method for Depositing Metallic Pt-Pd Nanoparticles over Wire Gauge Support for Removal of Hydrogen in a Nuclear Reactor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Kiran K.","family":"Sanap","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shri Guru Gobind Singhji Institute of Engineering and Technology, Nanded 431606, India"},{"name":"Chemistry Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Mumbai 400085, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4973-4203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sawanta S.","family":"Mali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Polymer Energy Materials Laboratory, School of Chemical Engineering, Chonnam National University, Gwangju 61186, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deepak","family":"Tyagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Mumbai 400085, India"},{"name":"Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai 400094, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ajit N.","family":"Shirsat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Mumbai 400085, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suhas B.","family":"Phapale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Mumbai 400085, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suresh B.","family":"Waghmode","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune 411007, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salil","family":"Varma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Mumbai 400085, India"},{"name":"Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai 400094, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Mallory, G.O., and Hajdu, J.B.
