High-energy-resolution fluorescence detection (HERFD) X-ray spectroscopy is presented as a new tool forthe identification of the bonding sites of reactants in supported metal catalysts. The type of adsorption site ofCO on an alumina-supported platinum catalyst and the orbitals involved in the bonding are identified. BecauseX-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is element-specific and can be used under high pressures andtemperatures, in situ HERFD XAS can be applied to a swathe of catalytic systems, including alloys.
