Abstract

High resolution electron microscopy is a valuable technique for studying catalytic metals and their zeolite supports because it allows direct visualization of their microstructure. The question is: what iis the smallest metal particle that can be detected by electron microscopy in such a system? Our goal is to determine the conditions under which a small (13 atoms) platinum cluster inside a Y zeolite channel can be detected by HREM. We chose the Pt/Y system because modified Y zeolites are widely used in commercial catalyst systems and Pt is a common and important catalytic metal.
