EXAFS in situ: The effect of bromide on Pd during the catalytic direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide

- In situ XAFS investigation of a Pd catalyst for the direct synthesis of H2O2.
- Reduction of PdO during the catalytic run in the presence of bromide ions.
- Appreciable leaching of Pd during the catalytic run in the presence of bromide ions.
- Clear evidence of restructuring of the metal clusters under reaction conditions.
