Abstract
Pd/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> catalysts were prepared using various Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> supports with different structural features, revealing a significant insight into the methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) combustion activity of Pd nanoparticles with the fraction of penta-coordinated Al<sup>3+</sup> sites in the Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> supports.
