Calculations of NEXAFS Spectra of Substituted Benzenes
We examine the role of substituent strengths and positions for NEXAFS spectra of substituted benzenes by means of static exchange calculations on aniline, phenol, fluorobenzene, and terephthalaldehyde. Chemical shifts and intensities of the ls → π* excitations are found to be closely related to the electronegative character of the substituent group ...

Unveiling excitonic insulator signatures in Ta $$_\textrm{2}$$ NiSe $$_\textrm{5}$$ through structural and orbital probes [PDF]
The high-temperature phase of Ta $$_\textrm{2}$$ NiSe $$_\textrm{5}$$ , a near-zero-gap semiconductor ( $$E_G$$ = 0), is a promising candidate for an excitonic insulator.

TiO<sub>6</sub> as a Compensatory Structural Unit in Co-Free, High-Ni Layered Oxide for Durable Lithium-Ion Batteries. [PDF]
Ti substitution stabilizes Co‐free high‐Ni layered oxides through both structural and electronic effects. TiO6 octahedra act as compensatory structural units that help interrupt cooperative Jahn–Teller distortion and suppress detrimental phase transitions, while the electron‐withdrawing inductive effect of Ti stabilizes the oxygen lattice. As a result,

Study on the Reaction Mechanism of RuO<sub>x</sub> and Its Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Activity. [PDF]
In situ Raman spectroscopy and DFT calculations reveal that, prior to the onset of HER, the surface of RuOx undergoes reversible reduction and structural reconstruction. The resulting Ru(II)O/Ru(IV)O2 configuration is identified as the true catalytically active species.

High-Resolution Table-Top NEXAFS Spectroscopy [PDF]
A table-top near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy system consisting of a soft X-ray source and an integrated spectrometer with a significantly improved resolution is presented. The soft X-ray source is based on a long-term stable and nearly debris-free picosecond laser-induced plasma generated in a pulsed krypton gas jet ...

Revealing the Nanoscale Morphology Changes of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Catalyst Layers due to Conditioning. [PDF]
We apply ex situ and in situ scanning transmission X‐ray microscopy to reveal the structural degradation of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell catalyst layers due to conditioning and thermal heating of the catalyst coated membrane. We observe a redistribution of the ionomer and carbon‐black in the catalyst layer, as well as nanoscale membrane ...
