Abstract
The interpretation of the activity of catalysts requires information about the sizes of the metal particles, since this has implications for the number of surface atoms available for reaction. To determine the particle dimensions we used a high resolution STEM1. Such an instrument with its simple optical transfer function is far more suitable than a conventional transmission electron microscope for the establishment of particle sizes. We report here our study on the size and number distribution of Ir particles supported on Al2O3 and also examine simple geometric models for the shape of Ir particles.
