%X Ion-exchange of palladium (Pd) precursor for two different types of well-ordered SBA- 15 morphologies, necklace-like and rod-like, was studied. Approximately 3.8 wt Pd was successfully incorporated into SBA-15 at pH 10.3. Formation of SBA-15 and Pd/SBA-15 were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Thermogravimetry with Simultaneous Difference Thermal Spectroscopy coupled with mass spectrometer (TG/SDTA-MS), Thermogravimetry in combination with Simultaneous Difference Thermal Spectroscopy (TG-SDTA), Inductive Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) and N2 adsorption-desorption. Reduction of surface area and pore volume of support for Pd/SBA-15 samples may indicate the encapsulation of PdO particles within mesoporous channels of SBA-15. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. %K Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry; Mass spectrometers; Nanoparticles; Process engineering; Scanning electron microscopy; Thermogravimetric analysis; Transmission electron microscopy, Adsorption desorption; Inductive coupled plasma; Mesoporous SBA-15; Necklace-like; PD nano particle; Rod-like; Sba-15 supports; Thermal spectroscopy, Ion exchange %D 2014 %R 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.917.10 %O cited By 0; Conference of International Conference on Process Engineering and Advanced Materials, ICPEAM 2012 ; Conference Date: 12 June 2012 Through 14 June 2012; Conference Code:106208 %L scholars5154 %J Advanced Materials Research %C Kuala Lumpur %T Incorporation of Pd nanoparticles on rod and necklace-like SBA-15 supports materials %A S.-P.
