Information about the metal phase in a supported-metal catalyst can be obtained using anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering (ASAXS). The difference between the scattering profiles for SAXS at two different wavelengths near the metal's absorption edge is essentially the scattering of the metal alone. Novelin situASAXS measurements are made on mordenite impregnated with platinum metal while the temperature and composition of gas in the sample cell are changed. Measurements are made 62 times during treatment of the catalyst. The metal particles are assumed to be randomly distributed spheres withN(R)dR= number of spheres with radii betweenRandR+ dR. It is found thatN(R) is always a monotonically decreasing function ofR, and that the average value ofR, obtained fromN(R), decreases by a factor of two over the time (approximately 6 h) for which the system is observed.

A supported-metal catalyst can be considered as a mixture of three homogeneous phases: support, void and metal. Information about the metal phase alone can be obtained using anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering (ASAXS), which requires measuring the SAXS for two different wavelengths near the metal's absorption edge. Herein, the conditions that must be obtained so that the difference between the two scattering profiles gives the scattering of the metal alone are presented. In a following contribution, the analysis will be applied toin situASAXS measurements made on mordenite impregnated with platinum metal while the temperature and composition of gas in the sample cell are changed. The metal particles are assumed to be randomly distributed spheres withN(R)dRbeing the number of spheres with radii betweenRandR+ dR. FromN(R) one can obtain the average value ofR.

AbstractThe slit-smeared intensity of X-radiation scattered from carbon-supported metal catalysts behaves as clh−1 + c2h−3 for higher h-values in the small-angle region (h+4πλ−1 sinθ, λ + X-ray wavelength,θ + half of scattering angle, c1, c2 are constants). For three-phase systems with sharp phase boundaries, uniform electron-densities in the metal and void phases, and lamellar electrondensity fluctuations in the carbon phase, the small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) can be described in terms of inter- and intraphase electron-density correlation functions, and can be shown to yield the observed behavior. Further assumptions are required to separate these contributions and calculate interfacial specific surfaces. SAXS measurements on Pt, Ru, Pd, and Rh/C are presented.

We have directly observed the <i>in situ</i> self-assembly kinetics of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) micelles by synchrotron time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering, equipped with a stopped-flow device that provides millisecond temporal resolution. This work has elucidated one general kinetic pathway for the process of PEC micelle formation, which provides useful physical insights for increasing our fundamental understanding of complexation and self-assembly dynamics driven by electrostatic interactions that occur on ultrafast timescales.
