Abstract Palladium(Pd) is one of the major noble metal used as an electrocatalyst. Palladium is a good element to replace platinum(Pt), which is relatively expensive and now has small reserves. Palladium is also used for medicine, groundwater treatment, hydrogen purification, electrical and chemical applications. It is also used as a catalytic converter and a key component of fuel cells. Palladium-based nanoparticles exhibit better or different properties than palladium nanoparticles. For example, we can change the unique property of palladium by inserting inorganic compound. In this experiment, we used boron as the inorganic compound. Boron which is the only metalloid element among 3A groups is light and small. The insertion of boron causes the structure of palladium to change. Therefore, it appears different characteristics to palladium single nanoparticles.
