T. Rades et al., DIFFUSE-REFLECTANCE IR STUDY OF CO ADSORPTION ON A BIMETALLIC PT-PD CATALYST SUPPORTED ON NAY ZEOLITE - EVIDENCE OF ALLOY FORMATION, Journal of physical chemistry, 100(40), 1996, pp. 16238-16241
NaY-supported bimetallic Pt-Pd clusters have been studied by diffuse r
eflectance infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed CO. Spectra are quite dif
ferent for Pt and Pd samples: on metallic Pt particles two singleton f
requencies of linearly adsorbed CO molecules are observed whereas CO i
s mainly adsorbed on Pd in the form of bridging species. The spectrum
of CO adsorbed on a bimetallic Pt-Pd catalyst is more complicated and
suggests tile formation of Pt-Pd alloy particles having a Pd-enriched
surface.
