Palladium black is a coarse, sponge-like form of elemental palladium which offers a large surface area for catalytic activity. It is used in organic synthesis as a catalyst for hydrogenation reactions.^[1]

The term palladium black is also used colloquially to refer to a black precipitate of elemental palladium, which forms via decomposition of various palladium complexes^[2].^{[citation needed]}

Preparation[]

Palladium black is typically prepared from palladium(II) chloride or .^[1] The palladium chloride process entails the formation of using lithium hydroxide followed by reduction under hydrogen gas^[3] while the palladium(II)-ammonium chloride route employs a solution formic acid followed by the precipitation of the catalyst using potassium hydroxide.^[4]
