Combining Time-Resolved Hard X-ray Diffraction and Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Spectroscopy To Illuminate CO Dissociation and Transient Carbon Storage by Supported Pd Nanoparticles during CO/NO Cycling
A novel combination of time-resolved hard X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry reveals how Pd nanoparticles dissociate CO and store atomic carbon and how this carbon storage dynamically changes the population of Linear and bridging CO species at the surface of the Pd nanoparticles.
