PG - 5678-93 LID - 10.1039/c000240m [doi] AB - The turn-over-rate (TOR) for the water gas shift (WGS) reaction at 200 degrees C, 7% CO, 9% CO(2), 22% H(2)O, 37% H(2) and balance Ar, of 1.4 nm Au/Al(2)O(3) is approximately 20 times higher than that of 1.6 nm Pt/Al(2)O(3). Operando EXAFS experiments at both the Au and Pt L(3) edges reveal that under reaction conditions, the catalysts are fully metallic. In the absence of adsorbates, the metal-metal bond distances of Pt and Au catalysts are 0.07 A and 0.13 A smaller than those of bulk Pt and Au foils, respectively. Adsorption of H(2) or CO on the Pt catalysts leads to significantly longer Pt-Pt bond distances; while there is little change in Au-Au bond distance with adsorbates. Adsorption of CO, H(2) and H(2)O leads to changes in the XANES spectra that can be used to determine the surface coverage of each adsorbate under reaction conditions. During WGS, the coverage of CO, H(2)O, and H(2) are obtained by the linear combination fitting of the difference XANES, or DeltaXANES, spectra. Pt catalysts adsorb CO, H(2), and H(2)O more strongly than the Au, in agreement with the lower CO reaction order and higher reaction temperatures.
