- The crystal and magnetic structure of Fe5SiB2 has been studied by a combination of X-ray and neutron diffraction. Also, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy constant has been estimated from magnetisation measurements. High quality samples have been prepared using high temperature synthesis and subsequent heat treatment protocols. The crystal structure is tetragonal within the space group I4/mcm and the compound behaves ferromagnetically with a Curie temperature of 760 K. At 172 K a spin reorientation occurs in the compound and the magnetic moments go from aligning along the c-axis (high T) down to the ab-plane (low T). The magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy constant has been estimated to 0.3 MJ/m3 at 300 K.

- Structural and morphological characterisation of bimetallic Pd-Pt/Al2O3 model cat- alysts are performed using X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, transmis- sion electron microscopy and CO chemisorption. Further, the catalysts were studied under oxidising and reducing conditions using both X-ray absorption spectroscopy and low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy. For the as-prepared catalysts, the existence of alloyed bimetallic Pd-Pt particles and of (tetragonal) PdO were found for the samples calcined at 800 C. PdO is present in form of crystals at the surface of the Pd-Pt par- ticles or as isolated PdO crystals on the support oxide. Bimetallic Pd-Pt nanoparticles were only formed on the Pd-Pt catalysts after calcination at 800 C. The results show that the Pd-Pt nanoparticles undergo reversible changes in surface structure composi- tion and chemical state in response to oxidising or reducing conditions. Under oxidising conditions Pd segregates to the shell and oxidises forming PdO, while under reducing conditions regions with metallic Pd and Pd-Pt alloys were observed at the surface. No bimetallic Pd-Pt nanoparticles were observed for the sample initially calcined at 500 C, but instead isolated monometallic particles, where small Pt particles are easily oxidised under O2 treatment. In the monometallic catalysts, the Pd is found to be com- pletely oxidised already after calcination and to consist of metallic Pd after reductive treatment.

CO Oxidation and Site Speciation for Alloyed Pd-Pt Model Catalysts Studied by In Situ FTIR Spectroscopy

- In situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to study transient CO oxidation over a series of bimetallic Pd-Pt catalysts with different Pd:Pt molar ratios. The catalysts were found to contain both alloyed PdPt nanoparticles (particle sizes 25-35 nm) and monometallic Pd nanoparticles (sizes below 10 nm). For oxygen-free conditions, CO reduces the surface while simultaneously function as a chemical probe molecule whereby the CO adsorption sites can be characterised. Under these conditions it is shown that adsorbed carbonyl species form both on the Pd and Pt. On platinum, CO adsorbs predominantly linearly on top, whereas on palladium it adsorbes in bridged configurations. This behaviour is used for site speciation of the catalysts. The spectra from the bimetallic Pd-Pt catalysts are more complicated than a direct superposition of the spectra for the monometallic catalysts as a consequence of alloy formation and enrichment of Pd at the surface of the reduced catalysts. The temperature programmed CO oxidation results show that the addition of Pd to the Pt catalyst supported on alumina shifts the CO-poisoned state to lower temperatures therefore increasing the temperature range for the CO oxidation at low temperatures.

- Boron silicate (BS) with a chabazite framework structure was synthesised using a direct route and rigorously characterized before it was ion-exchanged with copper to form Cu-BS. Employing in situ infrared spectroscopy, we show that Cu-BS is capable of oxidising methane to methoxy species and methanol interacts with the boron sites without deprotonation.
