Evolution in crystal, electronic and local atomic structures of Pt in ammonium hexachloroplatinate in the course of thermal decomposition in inert and reducing atmospheres have been studied by Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD) and Quick X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (QXAFS) at Pt L3-edge for deeper understanding the thermally-induced solid state reaction and the formation of metallic nanoparticles. A three-step thermal decomposition mechanism of (NH4)2[PtCl6] in the inert atmosphere with the intermediate products Pt(NH3)2Cl2 and PtCl2 has been found instead one-[G.Meyer, A.Möller, J. Less. Common. Met. 170 (1991) 327–331] and two-step one [Q.Kong, F.Baudelet, J.Han, S.Chagnot, L.Barthe, J.Headspith, R. Goldsbrough, F.E.Picca, O.Spalla, Sci. Rep. 2 (2012) 1018–1025] considered early. In the reducing atmosphere, the thermal decomposition is a two-step process with the formation of the intermediate PtCl2. The best approach to determining the number of thermal decomposition steps turned out to be the express-analysis of QXAFS spectra offered in the papers, based on the simultaneous presentation of the most important parameters extracted from X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) and Fourier transformed Extended XAFS (EXAFS). This express-analysis was tested by comparison with results of various approaches such as conventional EXAFS fitting, linear combination fit (LCF), Multivariate Curve Resolution Alternating Least Squares method (MCR ALS).
Thermal decomposition of (NH4)2[OsxPt1-xCl6] as single-source precursors for Os-Pt binary alloys has been investigated under ambient and high pressure up to 40 GPa. Thermal decomposition of mixed-metal (NH4)2[OsxPt1-xCl6] precursor in hydrogen atmosphere (reductive environment) under ambient pressure results in formation of β-trans[Pt(NH3)2Cl2] and α-trans-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2] crystalline intermediates as well as single and twophase Os—Pt binary alloys. For the first time, direct thermal decomposition of coordination compound under pressure has been investigated. A formation of pure metallic alloys from single-source precursors under pressure has been shown. Miscibility between fcc- and hcpstructured alloys has been probed up to 50 GPa by in situ high-pressure X-ray diffraction. Miscibility gap between fcc- and hcp-structured alloys does not change its positions with pressure up to at least 50 GPa.
The adsorption behavior of Platinum nanoparticles was studied for the as-received catalyst (under inert gas), under hydrogen and CO atmosphere using our newly designed in-situ cell. X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) and Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) experiments were performed simultaneously with high data quality. Structural information and the type of adsorbate could be revealed via Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) analysis, Δμ X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure analysis (Δμ XANES) and in-situ DRIFTS. The as-received catalyst showed sub-surface oxygen and O(n-fold). Under CO atmosphere only CO(atop) was found. Reversible adsorbate induced changes of the Pt nanoparticle structure were derived from changes in the Pt-Pt coordination number and the corresponding bond distance. Under reducing conditions (H2, CO) a significant increase in both values occurred. Temperature dependent desorption of CO revealed a gradual shift from Pt-CO to Pt-O. Reoxidation was clearly assigned to strong metal support interaction from the SiO2 support.
