Hydrodechlorination (HDC) catalyzed by palladium has important applications in the disposal of chlorinated organic pollutants (COPs), yet the associated catalytic sites and the underlying reaction mechanism have not been clearly revealed. Here, we use Pd nanocrystals (Pd NCs) as the probe catalyst t...
