Determination of the Atomic Structure of Solid Catalysts by X-Ray Diffraction

  • Chapter
Catalyst Characterization

Part of the book series: Fundamental and Applied Catalysis ((FACA))

Abstract

Solid materials used in heterogeneous catalysis are generally composed of a mixture of several phases which cannot be separated without losing the catalytic properties of the material. These phases are often in a state of fine division, i.e., a large fraction of the atoms are on the surface and therefore they do not have the same coordination as those in the deep layers of a bulk material. Moreover, the structure of these phases as often as not exhibits numerous crystal defects of substitution or displacement with respect to a perfect lattice because the active phase often contains several transition elements without well-defined stoichiometry (e.g., mixed oxide and bimetallic catalyst). It is therefore generally not possible to determine the complete atomic structure of the active phases of a catalyst. However, information on the short-range order of the atoms in catalysts can be obtained from the radial electron distribution function, which gives the distribution of all the interatomic distances present in the solids whatever their degree of order.
