Article Synopsis
- The study used Synchrotron X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) to analyze chemically created gold clusters, specifically Au(n)(PPh3)y, supported on titania nanoparticles.
- Post-deposition treatments, including heat treatment in O2 and then H2, significantly affected the clusters, causing oxidation of phosphine ligands and increasing agglomeration.
- Results indicated that agglomeration starts right after deposition and is influenced by pre-treatment, which is essential for ligand removal and cluster consolidation.
