Utilizing GISAXS/GIXAS, we have monitored the evolution of particle size/shape and the oxidation state of supported Co1-xPtx bimetallic clusters under operating conditions, and elucidated the different surface structure and chemical state w.r.t. their atomic ratio. The obtained results indicate ways for optimizing the composition of binary alloy clusters for catalysis.
