The EXAFS technique was also applied to characterize the local structure around Pt atoms. We found an increase of about 15% in the values of the average radius of gyration determined by SAXS for NPs embedded in SBA compared to NPs in liquid suspension. A decrease of the Pt-Pt first shell average coordination number for NPs in SBA was also found by EXAFS. These results indicate a significant change in the NPs shape, from spherical to non-spherical shape. This change of the NPs shape after impregnation suggests the existence of a strong interaction between Pt NPs and the surface atoms of mesoporous SBA. The shapes of Pt NPs embedded in SBA may be long rods or flattened pancakes.
