V. Bertin et al., PREPARATION OF BIMETALLIC PT-AU CATALYSTS BY REDOX REACTION - CHARACTERIZATION BY XRD AND SAXS, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 92(1), 1995, pp. 120-133
Bimetallic Pt-Au/SiO2 catalysts were prepared by surface Redox reactio
ns. Au was introduced as Au Cl-4- reduced on platinum surface either b
y hydrogen preadsorbed or by direct oxidation of Pt degrees by Au Cl-4
-. Characterization of catalysts by X.R.D. and by S.A.X.S. pointed out
that bimetallic aggregates are formed of gold particules deposited on
platinum particles with a reciprocal diffusion of the two metals.
