RESUMO
It is demonstrated that light elements, including lithium and boron atoms, can take residence in the octahedral (interstitial) site of a Pd lattice by modifying the electronic properties of the metal nanoparticles, and hence the adsorptive strength of a reactant. The blocking of the sub-surface sites to H in the modified materials results in significantly higher selectivity for the partial catalytic hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene.
