Ex situ synthesis is the key : Palladium nanoparticles having a narrow size distribution around 3.6 nm have been synthesized in a liquid phase and then loaded onto a carbon support with an overall efficiency of 85 %. The resulting nanoparticles, which retained their size and morphology, were exceptionally active and selective as a catalyst for the direct formation of H 2 O 2 from H 2 and O 2 in ethanol.
