C. The rates of oxygen adsorption-desorption on Pt sites, support surface,oxygen transfer (spillover) from Pt to the support as well as the amount of oxygen accumulated in the oxidebulk, and oxygen diffusion coefficient were estimated. The nanocrystalline structure of lanthana-doped ceria-zirconia prepared via the Pechini route with a developed network of domain boundaries and specific defectsguarantees a high oxygen mobility in the oxide bulk (

C) and allowsaccumulation of over-stoichiometric/excess oxygen. For Pt/CeO
2-ZrO
2, oxygen transfer from Pt to support(characteristic time < 10
-2 s) was shown to be responsible for the fast exchange between the gas-phaseoxygen and oxygen adsorbed on the mixed oxide surface. The rate of direct exchange between the gas phaseand surface oxygen is increased as well due to the increased concentration (up to 2 monolayers) of surface/near subsurface oxygen species accumulated on the oxygen vacancies (originated from the incorporation ofhighly dispersed Pt atoms). The characteristic time of diffusion of the oxygen localized in the subsurfacelayers is about 1 s. The overall quantity of over-stoichiometric oxygen and/or hydroxyl groups accumulatedin the bulk can reach the equivalent of 10 monolayers, and characteristic time of oxygen diffusion within thebulk is about 20 s. All these kinetic data are required for the further step of modeling partial oxidation ofhydrocarbons under steady- and unsteady-state conditions.
