| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bimetallic nanoparticles (BNPs) are expected as heterogeneous catalysts due to their unique physicochemical properties. For development of BNP-based catalysts, it is crucial to understand relationships between catalytic properties and atomic-scale geometric and electronic structures in a BNP. Hence, this research focused on (i) development of a method for evaluating three-dimensional atomic distribution (3DAD) in a BNP based on X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and (ii) clarification of relationship between 3DAD and catalytic activity. For the former (i), an analysis method was developed to refine 3DAD in a BNP based on average coordination numbers for the first coordination shell estimated by XAS curve fitting analysis. For the latter (ii), an operando XAS study of catalytic C3H6 oxidation over equimolar Pd-Pt BNPs revealed that a Pd-core Pt-shell BNP exhibits higher activity than a Pd-Pt alloy BNP in a stoichiometric C3H6-O2 atmosphere at temperatures less than 573 K.
