We present a method for characterizing ultrasmall (<2 nm) supported crystallites with benchtop XRD. Central to the method is an understanding of the intensity effects at play; these intensity effects and their corrections are discussed in depth. Background subtraction─long considered one of the main barriers to ultrasmall crystal characterization─is solved by correcting the diffractogram of a separately measured support for the relevant intensity effects. Rietveld refinement is demonstrated to be an adequate analysis method for the general characterization of simple nanosystems. A 4.8% Pt/SiO2 sample (1.3 nm, volume-weighted average) is used as a case study; it is found that the Pt spontaneously oxidizes under ambient conditions and consists of a metallic core surrounded by a PtO2 shell. Both phases have average dimensions smaller than 1 nm. The XRD results also suggest lattice expansion of the Pt core as compared to bulk Pt.

Rietveld 细化的扩展用于超小负载纳米颗粒的台式粉末 XRD 分析

我们提出了一种用台式 XRD 表征超小 (<2 nm) 支持的微晶的方法。该方法的核心是理解发挥作用的强度效应;深入讨论了这些强度效应及其校正。背景减法——长期以来被认为是超小晶体表征的主要障碍之一——通过校正相关强度效应的单独测量支持物的衍射图来解决。Rietveld 细化被证明是简单纳米系统一般表征的充分分析方法。以 4.8% Pt/SiO 2样品(1.3 nm,体积加权平均值)作为案例研究;发现 Pt 在环境条件下会自发氧化,并由被 PtO 2包围的金属核组成壳。两相的平均尺寸均小于 1 nm。XRD 结果还表明,与块状 Pt 相比,Pt 核的晶格膨胀。
