Cu-SSZ-13 is a highly active NH3-SCR catalyst for the abatement of harmful nitrogen oxides (NO x , = 1, 2) from exhausts lean-burn engines. The study Cu-speciation occurring upon thermal dehydration key step understanding enhanced catalytic properties this material and identifying SCR sites their redox capability. Herein, we combined FTIR, X-ray absorption (XAS) emission (XES) spectroscopies with DFT computational analysis to elucidate nature location most abundant Cu in activated catalyst....
In the typical NH3-SCR temperature range (100-500 °C), ammonia is one of main adsorbed species on acidic sites Cu-SSZ-13 catalyst. Therefore, study at high a key step for understanding its role in catalytic cycle. We employed different spectroscopic techniques to investigate nature complexes occurring upon NH3 interaction. particular, FTIR spectroscopy revealed formation species, that is, (i) bonded copper centers, (ii) Brønsted sites, and (iii) NH4(+)·nNH3 associations. XANES XES allowed us...
Accurate modeling of the X-ray absorption near-edge spectra (XANES) is required to unravel local structure metal sites in complex systems and their structural changes upon chemical or light stimuli. Two relevant examples are reported here concerning following: (i) effect molecular adsorption on 3d metals hosted inside metal-organic frameworks (ii) induced dynamics spin crossover complexes. In both cases, amount models for simulation can reach a hundred, depending number parameters. Thus,...
In this study, silver/silver oxide nanoparticles (Ag/Ag2O NPs) were successfully biosynthesized using Phoenix dactylifera L. aqueous leaves extract. The effect of different plant extract/precursor contractions (volume ratio, v/v%) on Ag/Ag2O NP formation, their optical properties, and photocatalytic activity towards azo dye degradation, i.e., Congo red (CR) methylene blue (MB), investigated. X-ray diffraction confirmed the crystalline nature NPs with a crystallite size range from 28 to 39...

The local partial unoccupied density states in initial state and fully relaxed final have been calculated by full multiple-scattering approach. wave function excited electron ${\mathit{L}}_{3}$-edge XANES spectrum is found to be determined processes large size cluster formed at least 45 atoms. We predict, good agreement with...
We discuss a spectroscopic method to determine the character of chemical bonding and for identification metal ligands in coordination bioinorganic chemistry. It is based on analysis satellite lines X-ray emission spectra that arise from transitions between valence orbitals ion 1s level (valence-to-core XES). The spectra, connection with calculations density functional theory (DFT), provide information complementary other techniques, particular absorption (XANES EXAFS). spectral shape...
Abstract X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra are the fingerprint of local atomic and electronic structures around absorbing atom. However, quantitative analysis these is not straightforward. Even with most recent advances in this area, for a given spectrum, it clear priori which structural parameters can be refined how uncertainties should estimated. Here, we present an alternative concept XANES spectra, based on machine learning algorithms establishes relationship between...
X-ray transient absorption spectroscopy (X-TAS) has been used to study the light-induced hydrogen evolution reaction catalyzed by a tetradentate macrocyclic cobalt complex with formula [LCo(III)Cl2](+) (L = ligand), [Ru(bpy)3](2+) photosensitizer, and an equimolar mixture of sodium ascorbate/ascorbic acid electron donor in pure water. near edge structure (XANES) extended fine (EXAFS) analysis binary octahedral Co(III) precatalyst after illumination revealed situ formation Co(II) intermediate...
Hydride formation in palladium nanoparticles was studied by Pd K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy both the near-edge (XANES) and extended (EXAFS) regions diffraction (XRD) situ as a function of temperature hydrogen pressure. In contrast to EXAFS XRD, which probe Pd–Pd interatomic distance changes, direct effect concentration on electronic structure is observed intensities peak positions XANES region. By using theoretical simulations, we propose simple analysis based changes relative...

A zirconium metal–organic framework with UiO-66 topology was synthesized using a 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (NDC) linker (UiO-66-NDC). From synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), we found that the naphthalene rings of NDC are out (a,c)-plane equilibrium by 30°, similar to situation single crystal XRD for benzene in UiO-67 (Cryst.
