Abstract

The state of iridium in highly dispersed bimetallic Pt-Ir catalysts supported on amorphous silica was studied by 193Ir Mössbauer spectroscopy, after deposition via ion exchange, as well as after calcination, reduction in hydrogen, and on exposure to carbon monoxide. Characteristic patterns and relative contributions of adsorbed [Ir(NH3)5Cl] complexes, IrCl3, IrO2 and Pt-Ir alloy particles have been identified. The composition of bimetallic particles indicates a strong tendency for segregation of Pt and Ir.
