AbstractThe local co-ordination environment of Zr in a model alkali borosilicate glass, of relevance to nuclear waste immobilisation, was studied by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy between 25 – 1060°C. Analysis of Zr K-edge XANES spectra, in comparison with those of well characterised standards, demonstrated, for the first time, the reversible transformation of ZrO6 to ZrO7 co-ordination polyhedra at high temperature. This observation was rationalised on the basis of the combined effects of network modifier cation diffusion and thermal expansion.

A molecularly derived FeAs has been used as an electro(pre)catalyst for an efficient alkaline OER for the first time and subsequently, its active structure has been determined by quasi in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy and ex situ methods.

The local structure of dilute CrCl<sub>3</sub> in a molten MgCl<sub>2</sub>:KCl salt was investigated by <i>in situ</i> x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at temperatures from room temperature to 800<sup>o</sup>C. This constitutes the first experiment where dilute Cr speciation is explored in a molten chloride salt, ostensibly due to the compounding challenges arising from a low Cr concentration in a matrix of heavy absorbers at extreme temperatures. CrCl<sub>3</sub> was confirmed to be the stable species between 200 and 500<sup>o</sup>C, while mobility of metal ions at higher temperature (>700<sup>o</sup>C) prevented confirmation of the local structure.

The state-of-art RuO2 catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is measured by using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to elucidate the structural transformation during catalyzing the reaction in acidic and alkaline conditions.
