E hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Pd ma ke ʻano he catalyst ka maikaʻi o ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a me ka hana kiʻekiʻe, hiki ke kapa ʻia ʻo "ka huaora o ka ʻoihana hou".
ʻO nā mea hana e like me ka triangular catalysts: Hiki i ka Palladium i ka ternary catalyst ke hoʻohuli i nā mea ʻawaʻawa a me nā mea ʻino i loko o ka wai ʻawaʻawa a me ka ʻono ʻole a me ka carbon dioxide.
Ma waho aʻe o ka mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa kinoea huelo koʻikoʻi i nā kaʻa wahie kuʻuna, ʻo Pd kekahi mea koʻikoʻi wahie cell catalyst, a he mea hoʻomohala nui hoʻi ia i ke kahua kaʻa kaʻa hou.
No ka loaʻa ʻana o ka Pd i ka hiki ke hoʻoulu ʻia no ka hydrogen a me ka oxygen, he mea koʻikoʻi ia i ke kaʻina hana o ka hydrogen catalyzed a me ka hana kemika oxidation.
Eia kekahi, hiki iā ia ke hoʻoikaika nui i kahi ʻano o ka carbon-carbon, carbon-nitrogen-nitrogen-to-nitrogen-to-nitrogen-crossing reactions, hiki ke hoʻohana nui ʻia i ka synthesis o nā kemika organik maikaʻi.
