ABSTRACTX-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) was used to characterize the structural and electronic properties of a series of cobalt- and nickel-molybdate catalysts (AMoO4.nH20, α-AMoO4, β-AMoO4; A= Co or Ni). The results of XANES indicate that the Co and Ni atoms are in octahedral sites in all these compounds, while the coordination of Mo varies from octahedral in the a-phases to tetrahedral in the β-phases and hydrate. Time-resolved x-ray diffraction shows a direct transformation of the hydrates into the β-AMoO4 compounds (following a kinetics of first order) at temperatures between 200 and 350 °C. This is facilitated by the similarities that the AMoO4.nH20 and β-AMoO4 compounds have in their structural and electronic properties. The molybdates react with H 2 at temperatures between 400 and 600 °C, forming gaseous water and oxides in which the oxidation state of Co and Ni remains +2 while that of Mo is reduced to +5 or +4. After exposing α-NiMoO4 and P-NiMoO4 to H2S, both metals get sulfided and a NiMoSx phase is formed. For the β phase of NiMoO4 the sulfidation of Mo is more extensive than for the a phase, making the former a better precursor for catalysts of hydrodesulfurization reactions.

The structural and electronic properties of rock salt-type Ni–Fe oxides are investigated under OER conditions. The inclusion of Fe in the rock-salt structure is shown to inhibit the transformation to more layered and disordered polymorphs.

AbstractX-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) is a sensitive probe of the electronic structure, and can provide information about the valency, the unoccupied electronic states and the effective charge of the absorbing atom. In this paper, near edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectra are reported at the L3, M5 and N5 thresholds and used to determined structural and electronic properties of U(VI) within uranyl nitrate (UO2(NO3)2.6H2O) and perovskite (Ba2ZnUO6). Experimental data analysis by simulating the absorption edge allows to compare the coordination polyhedrons, identify the electronic transitions and calculate the density of states associated with the absorption spectra. Moreover, a coupling between simulations of the experimental spectra and quantum chemical calculations is performed, in order to improve the model describing the final states and better understand the bonding properties of the cation with the ligand.
