Noneffervescent Method for Catalysis-Based Palladium Detection with Color or Fluorescence.

Palladium is a highly valuable metal in automobile, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. The metal is generally quantified by atomic absorption spectrometry or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. These techniques are tedious and require expensive instruments that are operated mostly off site. As cost-effective and user-friendly alternatives to these techniques, we previously reported two practical fluorometric or colorimetric methods to quantify palladium. Both methods rely on the use of NaBH
