Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the most important chemical reactions for studying catalytic nanoparticles with different morphologies. Over the past few decades, researchers have extensively studied the catalytic properties of metals as cocatalysts with controllable size and shape. However, most studies reported so far explore the oxidation or reduction capacity through different reactions. Studies on the crystal surface effect through one reaction system, which provides the possibility to probe the reduction and oxidation reactions induced by the same catalytic process, are relatively lacking. In our experimental study, Pd nanocubes and Pd nanooctahedrons were prepared by a shape and size control technique and were loaded onto a carbon nitride semiconductor photocatalyst. Through a combination of operando nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and gas chromatography, the effects of Pd nanoparticles with different crystal planes and sizes on the reduction reaction part and the oxidation reaction part of the photohydrogenation reaction were studied in detail. The results show that the crystal planes affect both the reaction activity and production selectivity of the catalyst, and the size affect more to the reaction activity. This study provides a theoretical support for the design of high-efficiency catalysts and also enriches a test method for studying the performance of catalysts.
