The influence on the net H(2)O(2) formation is found to depend strongly upon the catalyst support due to support-Pd cluster interactions. For both the catalysts, the thermal treatments (except in air) caused a large increase in their Pd particle size. The increase in Pd particle size caused an increase in the H(2)O(2) formation activity of Pd/Al(2)O(3) but a decrease in the H(2)O(2) formation activity of Pd/C.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3-4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.294</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
