    Abstract

    To investigate the interaction of oxygen with platinum in gaseous and aq. media, in-situ x-ray absorption spectra (XAS) of a highly dispersed Pt/graphite catalyst were measured at the Pt LIII and LII edge for samples exposed to hydrogen or oxygen. White-line surface areas were detd. to evaluate the relative degree of oxidn. of the Pt. EXAFS was used to det. the local environment of the Pt. Both techniques show a corrosive oxidn. for the samples contacted with O2, in contrast to chemisorption of most probably a hydroxide species for the samples contacted with oxygen in water. The redn. of highly dispersed oxidized Pt is easily accomplished by H2 in both media
