Abstract

Abstract: Local coordination environments around Pd and Pt in a Pd-core Pt-shell nanoparticle (NP) at temperatures ranging from 473 to 873 K was evaluated by utilizing in situ XAFS measurement technique to investigate the temperature range in which a core-shell structure is preserved. The core-shell structure was considered to be kept up to 673 K and start to change at about 773 K. Heating to 873 K accelerated atomic mixing in the core-shell NPs. Catalytic properties of the present Pd-core Pt-shell NP are available in the stoichiometric C3 H6 -O2 atmosphere at temperatures less than 773 K at most.
