Abstract

The electronic states and the nature of active sites of Pt/Y203, Pt/Zr02, Pt/V203, and Pt/Ti02 in the working state were investigated by X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, kinetics, and isotope-tracing techniques. The density of the unoccupied 5d state of Pt decreased as the reduction temperature of catalysts increased, but its degree strongly depended on the nature of support. High-temperature reduction of Pt/Zr02 and Pt/ ...
