Bn. Novgorodov et al., EXAFS STUDY OF THE ULTRADISPERSIVE METAL-PARTICLE SURFACE-STRUCTURE USING INERT-GASES AS LABEL ATOMS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 359(1-2), 1995, pp. 234-235
An experimental apparatus was developed to perform inert gas adsorptio
n in situ. The investigation of Kr adsorption on supported Pd catalyst
s was carried out by means of EXAFS spectroscopy on K-edges of absorpt
ion of Kr and Pd. This study may give important information concerning
the surface structure of metal particles and its interaction with ads
orbates. This information, in turn, could allow us to understand the m
echanism of catalytic reactions and the methods of improving the catal
ytic activity.
