Structural Models and Atomic Distribution of Bimetallic Nanoparticles as Investigated by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy

Abstract: In this report, we describe a general methodology to determine the extent of alloying or atomic distribution quantitatively in bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The structural parameters determined in these studies serve as a quantitative index and provide a general route to determine the structural aspects of the bimetallic NPs. We have derived various types of possible structural models based on the extent of alloying and coordination number parameters of bimetallic NPs. … Show more

“…The typical electron beam energy was 2.5 GeV, and the current was 200 mA. The EXAFS data were analysed by the IFEFFIT data analysis package according to the standard procedures 54 . The background was removed by extrapolating the pre-edge region onto the EXAFS region, and the w(E) data were normalized with respect to the edge jump step using the Athena program of the IFEFFIT package.…”

“…Subsequently, the k 1 w(k) data in k-space ranging from 3.1 to 13.5 Å À 1 were Fourier-transformed to the R-space. The processed w(k) data were fitted in R space ranging from 1.3 to 3.7 Å using the Artemis program of the IFEFFIT package 54 . From these analyses, structural parameters including coordination number (N), coordination distance (R), Debye-Waller factors and inner potential correction (DE 0 ) were obtained.…”

“…11,14,15 Surface structure and coordination number at the surface can be determined for nanoparticles if the interior is assumed to have bulklike coordination values. 15,16 EXAFS has been used successfully to characterize structures in nanoparticle metal and bi-metallic clusters made through gas-phase synthesis on supports, 11,[17][18][19][20] and metal and semiconductor nanoparticles made through solution-phase chemistry. 15,16,[21][22][23][24][25] The use of EXAFS to characterize chemical transformations in nanoparticles (NPs) is relatively rare.…”

“…This advantage in CO ads oxidation kinetics is likely due to the modified atomistic distribution, electronic structure, and particle size of the catalyst particles and their individual components. 40,41 In Fig. 3c, the chronoamperometric measurements show that the PtRuNi ͑10 W͒ catalyst has the highest performance for methanol oxidation.…”
