a Schematic spatial distribution of PtSn/SiO2 + CaCO3. b–h HAADF-STEM images (b, c), EDX-mappings (d–g) and HRTEM image (h) of PtSn/SiO2 + CaCO3. The inset in (c) shows the size distribution of Pt3Sn nanoparticles. The inset in (h) shows Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) processing of single Pt3Sn nanoparticle from the selected square area. i, j Normalized Pt L3-edge XANES spectra (i) and k2-weighted Pt L3-edge EXAFS spectra (j) of PtSn/SiO2, PtSn/SiO2 + CaCO3 and reference samples.
