Formation of a Pt-MgO Solid Solution: Analysis by X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Thermal treatment of Pt nanoparticles or Pt(acac)₂ supported on MgO resulted in the formation of a solid solution of Pt-MgO, as evidenced by Pt L₃-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The valence of Pt in the Pt-MgO solid solution was determined to be 4+. A characteristic shrinkage of the Pt-O bond distance was observed in comparison with that of the nearest-neighboring Mg-O bond in MgO, which agreed with the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The segregation of Pt and MgO proceeded with a further increase in the thermal treatment temperature up to 1273 K. The dispersion of Pt on MgO measured through CO adsorption was much higher than that on Al₂O₃ or SiO₂ owing to the formation of the Pt-MgO solid solution.

Geometric structure determination of N694C lipoxygenase: a comparative near-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy and extended X-ray absorption fine structure study.

Project description:The mononuclear nonheme iron active site of N694C soybean lipoxygenase (sLO1) has been investigated in the resting ferrous form using a combination of Fe-K-pre-edge, near-edge (using the minuit X-ray absorption near-edge full multiple-scattering approach), and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) methods. The results indicate that the active site is six-coordinate (6C) with a large perturbation in the first-shell bond distances in comparison to the more ordered octahedral site in wild-type sLO1. Upon mutation of the asparagine to cysteine, the short Fe-O interaction with asparagine is replaced by a weak Fe-(H(2)O), which leads to a distorted 6C site with an effective 5C ligand field. In addition, it is shown that near-edge multiple scattering analysis can give important three-dimensional structural information, which usually cannot be accessed using EXAFS analysis. It is further shown that, relative to EXAFS, near-edge analysis is more sensitive to partial coordination numbers and can be potentially used as a tool for structure determination in a mixture of chemical species.

Revealing solid electrolyte interphase formation through interface-sensitive Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Project description:The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) that forms on Li-ion battery anodes is critical to their long-term performance, however observing SEI formation processes at the buried electrode-electrolyte interface is a significant challenge. Here we show that operando soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy in total electron yield mode can resolve the chemical evolution of the SEI during electrochemical formation in a Li-ion cell, with nm-scale interface sensitivity. O, F, and Si K-edge spectra, acquired as a function of potential, reveal when key reactions occur on high-capacity amorphous Si anodes cycled with and without fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC). The sequential formation of inorganic (LiF) and organic (-(C=O)O-) components is thereby revealed, and results in layering of the SEI. The addition of FEC leads to SEI formation at higher potentials which is implicated in the rapid healing of SEI defects and the improved cycling performance observed. Operando TEY-XAS offers new insights into the formation mechanisms of electrode-electrolyte interphases and their stability for a wide variety of electrode materials and electrolyte formulations.

Simultaneous Elucidation of Solid and Solution Manganese Environments via Multiphase Operando Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy in Aqueous Zn/MnO2 Batteries.

Project description:Aqueous Zn/MnO2 batteries (AZMOB) with mildly acidic electrolytes hold promise as potential green grid-level energy storage solutions for clean power generation. Mechanistic understanding is critical to advance capacity retention needed by the application but is complex due to the evolution of the cathode solid phases and the presence of dissolved manganese in the electrolyte due to a dissolution-deposition redox process. This work introduces operando multiphase extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis enabling simultaneous characterization of both aqueous and solid phases involved in the Mn redox reactions. The methodology was successfully conducted in multiple electrolytes (ZnSO4, Zn(CF3SO3)2, and Zn(CH3COO)2) revealing similar manganese coordination environments but quantitative differences in distribution of Mnn+ species in the solid and solution phases. Complementary Raman spectroscopy was utilized to identify the less crystalline Mn-containing products formed under charge at the cathodes. This was further augmented by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to reveal the morphology and surface condition of the deposited solids. The results demonstrate an effective approach for bulk-level characterization of poorly crystalline multiphase solids while simultaneously gaining insight into the dissolved transition-metal species in solution. This work provides demonstration of a useful approach toward gaining insight into complex electrochemical mechanisms where both solid state and dissolved active materials are important contributors to redox activity.

Electrochemical Adsorption on Pt Nanoparticles in Alkaline Solution Observed Using In Situ High Energy Resolution X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy.

Project description:The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on Pt/C in alkaline solution was studied by in situ high energy resolution X-ray absorption spectroscopy. To discuss the X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), this paper introduced the rate of change of the Δμ (RCD), which is an analysis method that is sensitive to surface adsorption. The surface adsorptions as hydrogen (below 0.34 V), superoxide anion (from 0.34 V to 0.74 V), hydroxyl species (from 0.44 V to 0.74 V), atomic oxygen (above 0.74 V), and α-PtO2 (above 0.94 V) were distinguished. It is clarified that the catalytic activity in an alkaline solution is enhanced by the stability of atomic oxygen and the low stability of superoxide anion/peroxide adsorption on the platinum surface.

Characterization of surfaces presenting covalently immobilized oligopeptides using near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy.

Project description:This study addresses the need for methods that validate the surface chemistry leading to the immobilization of biomolecules and provide information about the resulting structural configurations. We report on the use of near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) to characterize a widely employed immobilization chemistry that leads to the covalent attachment of a biologically relevant oligopeptide to a surface. The oligopeptide used in this study is a kinase substrate of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a protein that is a common target for cancer therapeutics. By observing changes in the pi* and sigma* orbitals of specific nitrogen and carbon atoms (amide, imide, carbonyl), we are able to follow the sequential reactions leading to immobilization of the oligopeptide. We also show that it is possible to use NEXAFS to extend this characterization method to submonolayer densities that are relevant to biological assays. Such an element-specific chemical characterization of small peptides on surfaces fills an unmet need and establishes NEXAFS as useful technique for characterizing the immobilization of small biomolecules on surfaces.

Hydrogen absorption and desorption on Rh nanoparticles revealed by in situ dispersive X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy.

Project description:To unveil the origin of the hydrogen-storage properties of rhodium nanoparticles (Rh NPs), we investigated the dynamical structural change of Rh NPs using in situ dispersive X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS). The variation of the Rh-Rh interatomic distance and Debye-Waller factor of Rh NPs with a size of 4.0 and 10.5 nm during hydrogen absorption and desorption suggested that they have a different mechanism for hydrogen absorption, which is that the hydrogen absorption on the inner site has a greater contribution than that on a surface for Rh 4.0 nm. In the case of Rh 10.5 nm, it is opposed to Rh 4.0 nm. This study demonstrates a powerful in situ XAFS method for observing small local structural changes of metal nanoparticles and its importance for understanding of the hydrogen-absorption properties of Rh NPs with an interesting hydrogenation mechanism.

Structure and Population of Complex Ionic Species in FeCl2 Aqueous Solution by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy.

Project description:Technologies for mass production require cheap and abundant materials such as ferrous chloride (FeCl2). The literature survey shows the lack of experimental studies to validate theoretical conclusions related to the population of ionic Fe-species in the aqueous FeCl2 solution. Here, we present an in situ X-ray absorption study of the structure of the ionic species in the FeCl2 aqueous solution at different concentrations (1-4 molL-1) and temperatures (25-80 °C). We found that at low temperature and low FeCl2 concentration, the octahedral first coordination sphere around Fe is occupied by one Cl ion at a distance of 2.33 (±0.02) Å and five water molecules at a distance of 2.095 (±0.005) Å. The structure of the ionic complex gradually changes with an increase in temperature and/or concentration. The apical water molecule is substituted by a chlorine ion to yield a neutral Fe[Cl2(H2O)4]0. The observed substitutional mechanism is facilitated by the presence of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds as well as entropic reasons. The transition from the single charged Fe[Cl(H2O)5]+ to the neutral Fe[Cl2(H2O)4]0 causes a significant drop in the solution conductivity, which well correlates with the existing conductivity models.

Annealing induced atomic rearrangements on (Ga,In) (N,As) probed by hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure.

Project description:We study the effects of annealing on (Ga0.64,In0.36) (N0.045,As0.955) using hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure measurements. We observed surface oxidation and termination of the N-As bond defects caused by the annealing process. Specifically, we observed a characteristic chemical shift towards lower binding energies in the photoelectron spectra related to In. This phenomenon appears to be caused by the atomic arrangement, which produces increased In-N bond configurations within the matrix, as indicated by the X-ray absorption fine structure measurements. The reduction in the binding energies of group-III In, which occurs concomitantly with the atomic rearrangements of the matrix, causes the differences in the electronic properties of the system before and after annealing.

Probing the Local Structure of Na in NaNO3-Promoted, MgO-Based CO2 Sorbents via X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy.

Project description:This work provides insight into the local structure of Na in MgO-based CO2 sorbents that are promoted with NaNO3. To this end, we use X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Na K-edge to interrogate the local structure of Na during the CO2 capture (MgO + CO2 ↔ MgCO3). The analysis of Na K-edge XAS data shows that the local environment of Na is altered upon MgO carbonation when compared to that of NaNO3 in the as-prepared sorbent. We attribute the changes observed in the carbonated sorbent to an alteration in the local structure of Na at the NaNO3/MgCO3 interfaces and/or in the vicinity of [Mg2+···CO32-] ionic pairs that are trapped in the cooled NaNO3 melt. The changes observed are reversible, i.e., the local environment of NaNO3 was restored after a regeneration treatment to decompose MgCO3 to MgO. The ex situ Na K-edge XAS experiments were complemented by ex situ magic-angle spinning 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS 23Na NMR), Mg K-edge XAS and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). These additional experiments support our interpretation of the Na K-edge XAS data. Furthermore, we develop in situ Na (and Mg) K-edge XAS experiments during the carbonation of the sorbent (NaNO3 is molten under the conditions of the in situ experiments). These in situ Na K-edge XANES spectra of molten NaNO3 open new opportunities to investigate the atomic scale structure of CO2 sorbents modified with Na-based molten salts by using XAS.
