Among the noble-metal clusters examined, Pt clusters showed the highest activity for the formation of methane as well as hydrogen. In order to improve the activity, oxidized clusters and bimetallic clusters were also applied. For example, the CH4 yield in 3-h irradiation increased from 51 x 10"3 |xmol with unoxidized Pt clusters to 72 x 10" 3 pmol with partially oxidized ones. In the case of Pt/Ru bimetalic systems, the improve ment of the catalytic activity by air treatment was much greater than in case of monometallic clusters. | | | |
