• , the contact area of particle and substrate is clearly dependent on the initial size of the colloid. Finally, the distribution of the Pt precursor inside the colloidal particle may also play an important role. To clarify this last point, TEM and EDX (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) investigations

• backscattering atoms than in the bulk material, although the average composition determined by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) is the same for the two samples. This difference is not a conflict between EXAFS and EDS results, but simply reflects the fact that an averaging technique such as EDS does not
