Abstract
AbstractPlatinum nanoclusters highly dispersed on γ‐alumina are widely used as heterogeneous catalysts. To understand the chemical interplay between the Pt nanoparticles, the support, and the reductive atmosphere, we performed X‐ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) in situ experiments recorded in high energy resolution fluorescence detection (HERFD) mode. Spectra are assigned by comparison with simulated XANES spectra on models obtained by molecular dynamics (DFT‐MD). We propose platinum cluster morphologies and quantify the hydrogen coverages compatible with XANES spectra recorded at variable hydrogen pressures and temperatures. Using cutting‐edge methodologies to assign XANES spectra, this work gives unequalled atomic insights into the characterization of supported nanoclusters.
