Using microfocus X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction computed tomography (μ-XRF-CT, μ-XRD-CT) in combination with X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES), we have determined the active state of a Mo-promoted Pt/C catalyst (NanoSelect) for the liquid-phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene under standard operating conditions. First, μ-XRF-CT and μ-XRD-CT reveal the active state of Pt catalyst to be reduced, noncrystalline, and evenly dispersed across the support surface. Second, imaging of the Pt and Mo distribution reveals they are highly stable on the support and not prone to leaching during the reaction. This study demonstrates the ability of chemical computed tomography to image the nature and spatial distribution of catalysts under reaction conditions. date: 2015-08-17 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.201504227 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub pmcid: PMC4600245 language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1054119 doi: 10.1002/anie.201504227 language_elements: eng lyricists_name: Beale, Andrew lyricists_id: AMBEA17 actors_name: Beale, Andrew actors_id: AMBEA17 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Angewandte Chemie International Edition volume: 54 number: 34 pagerange: 9886-9889 event_location: Germany issn: 1521-3773 citation: Price, SW; Geraki, K; Ignatyev, K; Witte, PT; Beale, AM; Mosselmans, JF; (2015) In Situ Microfocus Chemical Computed Tomography of the Composition of a Single Catalyst Particle During Hydrogenation of Nitrobenzene in the Liquid Phase.
