Pt-Cu/HZSM-5 catalysts with various Cu/Pt ratios are studied by EXAFS/
XANES, XPS/XAES, IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO, and electron microsco
py after oxidation-reduction treatment. The data obtained reveal bimet
allic alloy particles in the zeolite matrix. The structure of these pa
rticles is found to be dependent on their composition and pretreatment
conditions.
