| Abstract |
An efficient, low cost synthesis of sodium platinum bronze Na xPt 3O 4 was investigated. PtO y films were deposited on silicon and SLG slides. Chemical and structural evolutions of the films upon annealing in air were probed by X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). An average oxidation state of 3.2 is derived from the XANES signal of the as-deposited films, corresponding to stoichiometry PtO 1.6. This reflects the fact that sputter-deposited PtO y films are mixtures of PtO and PtO 2 phases at the nanometer scale. When using a silicon substrate, further oxidation of the film is observed up to an average oxidation state of 3.6 upon annealing at 300°C, corresponding to a mixture of 80 mol % PtO 2 and 20 mol % PtO. XRD analyses indicated that the film remained nanocrystalline during the process. |
