Table 1. Best-fit parameters obtained for the 5 wt% Pt/Al2O3 sample measured in situ at room temperature and after reduction at 573 K.

Element CN* R (Å) DW (2σ2/(Å−2)

EXAFS, extended X-ray absorption fine structure.

EF=−10.31=the edge position relative to the vacuum zero (Fermi energy).

R%=33.37=(∫[χTχE]k3dk/[χE]k3dk) × 100%, where χT and χE are the theoretical and experimental EXAFS and k is the photoelectron wave vector.

The Debye–Waller factor=2σ2, where σ is the root mean square internuclear separation.

Other parameters: Attentuation factor (AFAC), related to the proportion of electrons performing an EXAFS-type scatter on absorption, is 0.875. Structural data were obtained by fitting the EXAFS in k space in the range: k=2.5–16.5 Å−1.

*Coordination number (±ca. 10% stated value).

Distance of scatterer atom from central atom (±ca. 1.5% stated value).

Debye–Waller factor.
