Sg. Fiddy et al., In situ energy dispersive EXAFS (EDE) of low loaded Pt(acac)(2)/H-I SiO2 catalyst precursors on a timescale of seconds and below, CHEM COMMUN, (9), 1999, pp. 851-852
We demonstrate second and sub-second time resolved energy dispersive EXAFS
(EDE) for in situ interrogation of phase changes in a supported metal catal
yst precursor [(less than or equal to 5 wt%) Pt(acac)(2)/H-I SiO2] during t
hermal decomposition and reduction; the formation of Pt particles is radica
lly altered by the presence H-2, in both kinetic and structural senses.
