Abstract
The effect of various heat treatments on the surface structure of supported platinum particles was studied using transmission electron microscopy. Heating in a vacuum furnace resulted in the formation of sharp (111) facets, probably as a consequence of carbon deposition, while heating in the presence of hydrogen sulphide induced (100) faceting. In contrast, heat treatments in hydrogen tended to reduce the degree of faceting, resulting in particles with almost circular profiles.
