Abstract
Monodisperse
Pd<sub>2</sub>Sn nanorods with tuned size and aspect
ratio were prepared by co-reduction of metal salts in the presence
of trioctylphosphine, amine, and chloride ions. Asymmetric Pd<sub>2</sub>Sn nanostructures were achieved by the selective desorption
of a surfactant mediated by chlorine ions. A preliminary evaluation
of the geometry influence on catalytic properties evidenced Pd<sub>2</sub>Sn nanorods to have improved catalytic performance. In view
of these results, Pd<sub>2</sub>Sn nanorods were also evaluated for
water denitration
