abstract = {The local structure analysis of low-loaded single-atom
catalysts on polymeric supports conflicts with the detection
limit of analytical methods due to the low metal contents
(≤0.5 $wt\%)$ and the disordered character of the
supports. However, understanding the structure on an atomic
level is the precondition to draw
structure-property-relationships. In this study, we
demonstrate that X-ray total scattering and subsequent
atomic (difference) pair distribution function analysis
(dPDF) have the potential to contribute in that regard.
Atomic pair correlations related to the coordination
environment of highly dispersed metal centers as well as
structural information of the polymeric support materials
could be extracted. Different coordination environments of
the isolated species depending on the metal precursor could
be observed. In situ dPDF analysis allowed to track the
dynamic behavior of initially site-isolated Pd species on
exfoliated graphitic carbon nitride under reaction
conditions making it a suitable method to study their
stability. Complementary quasi in situ XPS analysis
confirmed the observation of increasing Pd–Pd pair
correlations by indicating the formation and growth of Pd
clusters/nanoparticles during the course of reaction. We
discuss the system feasibility, limitations of the method
and benchmarking of measurement protocols providing
practical guidance for sample preparation, measurement
conditions and their impact on the data quality during the
analysis of low-loaded single-atom catalysts.},
