AbstractSmall copper-oxide cluster cations, namely, CuOAr+ and Cu2O2+, are studied by mass spectrometry and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to investigate the oxidation state of copper atoms. The XAS in Cu L3-region revealed that the oxidation number of Cu is almost +2.1 and +2.3 for CuOAr+ and Cu2O2+, respectively, which are consistent with the natural charges obtained by quantum chemical calculation. It was also revealed that the binding energy of Ar to CuO+ is unexpectedly high to form CuOAr+ dominantly as a result of a significant amount of charge transfer to the Ar atom.

Single-particle X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveals that the oxidation state and cation distribution of individual magnetite nanoparticles may be largely heterogeneous even when the macroscopic structural and magnetic response of the ensembles is uniform.

AbstractThis paper presents applications of in situ X-ray diffraction and absorption techniques to the study of H+/MnO2 alkaline batteries. The two complementary in situ techniques are described. Investigation of the electrochemical insertion and deinsertion of H+ has been made through its influence on the evolution of the crystallographic structure of γ-MnO2, while investigation of the transfer of e has been undertaken through the variation of the oxidation state of the manganese during the discharging and charging process of a battery. New insights in the understanding of the mechanisms of proton insertion and charge transfer into γ-MnO2 are discussed.

Sapphire, an inorganic gem-material in a variety of corundum, mainly consists of alpha-alumina (α-Al2O3) structure. The geological origins of sapphire are related to either basaltic or metamorphic rocks. The causes of the color on sapphire are some trace elements such as Cr, Fe, and Ti. It could be mentioned that Ti atoms have cooperated with Fe atoms for creating the blue color. In this study, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) technique focused on the x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and the extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) is employed to identify the oxidation state of Ti atoms and Ti-O bond length on sapphire samples. The Ti K-edge XANES and EXAFS spectra of natural sapphires were carried out using the 13-channel array germanium detector in fluorescence mode. The XANES spectra showed that the oxidation state of Ti was Ti4+ regardless of Fe content. Moreover, the Ti-O bond length on a-Al2O3 was equal to the Ti-O bond length on rutile (TiO2) analyzed from the EXAFS spectra. From these results, it could be concluded that the oxidation state of Ti atoms on natural sapphires was Ti4+ which substitutes Al3+ on the sapphire structure.
