Quantitative-Analysis of Hydrogen Adsorbed on Pt Particles on SiO2 in the Presence of Coadsorbed Co by Means of L-3-Edge X-Ray-Absorption Near-Edge Structure Spectroscopy
X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra at the Pt L-3-edge for Pt particles supported on SiO2 under CO adsorption and CO + H-2 coadsorption were recorded to analyze the amount of adsorbed hydrogen in the coadsorbed state on the Pt particles. Adsorbed CO on the Pt particles revealed a new peak at 6 eV above the Pt L-3-edge in the difference spectra before and after CO adsorption in the coverage range 0.10-0.51. Subsequent adsorption of hydrogen at various coverages on the CO-preadsorbed Pt particles broadened and shifted the peak to the higher energy side. The peak was deconvoluted to two components due to adsorbed hydrogen and CO by a linear least-squares fitting technique. It was found that the fitting coefficient with respect to adsorbed hydrogen was proportional to the amount of adsorbed hydrogen. The XANES difference spectra provide a quantitative analysis method for adsorbed hydrogen on supported Pt particles in the presence of coadsorbates like CO.
