Abstract
Nanocatalysts PtAg/C with different distributions of components in bimetallic PtAg nanoparticles were synthesized by the methods of simultaneous and sequential reduction of Ag+ and Pt(IV) in carbon suspension, prepared on the basis of ethylene glycol–water solvent. The characterization of atomic structure of as prepared PtAg nanoparticles and PtAg nanoparticles obtained after acid treatment at 90 °C was performed by Pt L3-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) using the technique for determining local structure parameters of the absorbing Pt atoms, which have the nearest surrounding consisting of Pt and Ag atoms. This technique enabled stable and unambiguous values of parameters for the local structure of Pt atoms in PtAg nanoparticles to be obtained under severe correlations between some of these parameters. The effects of averaging over the sizes and compositions of PtAg nanoparticles on the obtained values of structural parameters were studied by the method of cluster simulations. Analys...
