Abstract

With a new set‐up for in situ EXAFS spectroscopy the state of a carbon‐supported platinum catalyst during aqueous alcohol oxidation has been observed. The catalyst deactivation during platinum‐catalysed cyclohexanol oxidation is caused by platinum surface oxide formation. The detected Pt–O co‐ordination at 2.10 Å during exposure to nitrogen‐saturated cyclohexanol solution is different from what is observed for the pure oxidised platinum surface (2.06 Å).
