Abstract A facile approach was developed for the synthesis of polycrystalline palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) by using tannic acid (TA) as green reagent and stabilizer in a 30 °C water bath. The size of Pd NPs can be tuned in a range of 10–60 nm simply by adjusting the concentration of Pd precursor. The catalytic act…
