Infrared spectroscopy, using carbon monoxide as probe molecule, was utilized to detect the electronic metal-support interactions on platinum dispersed on silica modified with different titania amounts. The spectral features produced by the electronic metal-support effects were observed only for the materials that present a high titania content and they are related to the crystal titania lattice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
