The structure and chemical state of size-selected platinum nanoparticles on γ-Al2O3 was studied during the oxidation of methanol following oxidative and reductive pretreatments. X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy measurements reveal that the catalysts are substantially oxidized under reaction condition. Additionally, the pre-oxidized catalyst is more active than the pre-reduced catalyst.
