Abstract: or -OH) and the elemental composition of the DENs (Au or Pd). Second, dialysis can be used to remove the majority of SAs/SCs in cases where a high density of SAs/SCs are present. The foregoing conclusions provide insights into the mechanisms for Au and Pd DEN synthesis and stability. Ultimately, these results demonstrate the need for careful characterization of systems containing nanoparticles to ensure that SAs/SCs, which may be below the detection limit of most analytical methods, are taken into consideration (especially for catalysis experiments).
