The physical principles of XAFS spectroscopy are given at a sufficiently basic level to enable
scientists working in the field of catalysis to critically evaluate articles dealing with XAFS …

This book describes several specific spectrometric techniques that are very useful in elucidating
the fundamental nature of matter: EXAFS - Extended X-Ray Absorption of Fine Structure; …

Using 27 Al MAS and 27 Al MQ MAS NMR, dealumination of zeolite H-Beta has been observed
at specific T-positions in the framework. Al MQ MAS NMR is able to resolve aluminum in …

Carbon nanofibres of the fishbone and parallel types were surface‐oxidised by several
methods. The untreated and oxidised fibres were studied with infrared spectroscopy, …

Hydrogen-to-metal ( H M ) ratios exceeding unity for Pt and Rh and exceeding 2 for Ir were
measured for highly dispersed Pt, Rh, and Ir catalysts supported on Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 . Since …

The structure of rhodium in an ultradispersed 0.57 wt% Rh/y-Al203 catalyst before and after
CO adsorption was studied with extended X-ray absorption Fine structure (EXAFS), X-ray …

Zeolite Beta was calcined under a variety of carefully controlled conditions to study the
influence of (hydro)thermal treatments on the catalytic activity of zeolite Beta in the Lewis acid-…

Research on metal–support interaction calls for highly dispersed metal particles inside the
zeolite with a narrow particle size distribution. Pt particles thus dispersed in zeolite Y are …

Hydrogen temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of supported platinum catalysts, Pt/KLTL,
Pt/H-LTL, Pt/K-MAZ, Pt/H-MAZ, Pt/γ-Al 2 O 3 , and Pt/SiO 2 , was performed after …

The catalytic activity and spectroscopic properties of supported noble metal catalysts are
strongly influenced by the acidity/alkalinity of the support but are relatively independent of the …
