We recently achieved a significant improvement in catalytic activity using PdInHM catalysts . To avoid the problems of pressure drop and improve the transfer of energy and mass, the powders are normally washcoated on monolithic supports. It is crucial to obtain structured catalysts with catalytic properties similar to the powders. In this work, monolithic PdInZeolite catalysts were prepared by washcoating. Fresh and used catalysts were characterized by XPS and TEM-EDX techniques to establish a relationship with the catalytic activity of solids
