Abstract:

Various model oxide-supported metal catalyst particles (Pt nanodots supported on silica, titania and alumina) prepared by a CVS/CVD process at atmospheric pressure have been studied by using a self-developed SAXS and WAXS laboratory system. It has been shown that simultaneous SAXS and WAXS analyses offer a structural insight into the complexity of the supported metal catalysts, allowing quantitative study on the morphological characteristics of the synthesized oxide-supported catalyst particles and fine structures, including primary particles, internal subunits, mass fractal dimension of the aggregates, surface roughness, and crystallite properties as well as the Pt nanodots. The oxide support particles under study cover a size range of 55-150 nm and the Pt nanodots are in the size range of 1.8-15.8 nm. The SAXS and WAXS results were compared with those by TEM and the XRD reference database, and a good agreement has been found. Experimental findings indicated that SAXS appears to be more effective than WAXS for determining the Pt dot size, especially for Pt dots smaller than 2-4 nm due to the overlapping effect of the scattering signals at wide angles and the resultant difficulty in discerning the broad WAXS peaks of small Pt dots from the support background. ... mehr
