Popis: The kinetics of catalytic decomposition of H2O2 on palladium-carbon catalysts with various deposited metal distributions in carrier (active carbon) porous granules was studied. The activation parameters (E a and A 0) of the process were calculated by the Arrhenius equation. A determining factor for the catalytic process was found to be the entropy factor (A 0), which characterized the formation and dissociation of activated transition complexes. A quantum-chemical study of the electronic structure of palladium-carbon catalysts showed the occurrence of electron density transfer from the carbon matrix to metal clusters and collectivization of their electronic systems. This increased the donor-acceptor ability of the synthesized materials and, as a consequence, their catalytic activity.
