Abstract

Ce L1-edge high-energy-resolution fluorescence detected (HERFD) X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was applied to unravel the electronic structure of Pt-promoted CeO2 nanoparticles under different redox conditions. The Ce Lγ3 emission line was chosen for partial fluorescence yield detection to improve the XAS spectral resolution. Oxygen vacancies were formed on the surface of ceria nanoparticles upon reducing in 5% CO in He. Theoretical Ce L1-edge simulations showed good agreement with the experimental data.
