Bimetallic alloy nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively investigated for a wide range of applications because they may have synergetic effects [1]. Synthesis of supersaturated solid solution Pd1-xRux NPs have succeeded recently [2] although Pd-Ru system is immiscible alloy system. The supersaturated solid solution Pd1-xRux NPs exhibit superior catalytic property for CO selective oxidation and NOx reduction. The catalytic properties of the NPs depend on their electronic structure, size, composition, surface structure and so on. In this study, the structure of the Pd1-xRux NPs before and after NOx reduction reaction were investigated in atomic scale using an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopey. Pd1-xRux alloy NPs were prepared by reduction of RuCl3 and K2PdCl4 in a boiling ethylene glycol (EG) solution in the presence of polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP). The synthesized Pd1-xRux NPs were supported on γ-Al2O3. STEM observations and STEM-EDX chemical distribution analyses of Pd1-xRux NPs were performed by JEOL JEMARM 200F with double SDD detectors. The shape difference were observed for of Pd1-xRux NPs with different compositions. The major shapes for Pd-rich NPs were icosahedral and spherical with fcc crystal structure. Increasing the Ru content in Pd1-xRux NPs, the nanoparticle surfaces were more rugged because the individual NPs consist of several small grains with fcc and hcp crystal structures. Pd and Ru elements in the individual as-synthesized NPs were distributed almost uniformly. After the catalytic reaction of NOx reduction up to 600 ºC, the Pd1-xRux NPs were sintered and separated to two phases with Pd-rich fcc and Ru-rich hcp crystal structures.[1] OG Ellert et al., Russ.
