Tem and CL Investigations of Pd Nanograins Included in Carbonaceous Film

Abstract:

In this paper we presented results of investigation of carbonaceous-palladium materials obtained in the CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) process. This investigations were carried out with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), equipped with spectrum imaging for cathodoluminescence (CL). The composites will be applied as a active layers in hydrogen and also hydrocarbons detectors. Our measurements showed that some of Pd nanoparticles have a graphite shell and also are optically active. This particle in CL spectrum reveal the peak wavelength around 525 nm (2,36 eV).
