TL;DR: In this article, the nature of the active Ti species in TiCl3-doped NaAlH4, a promising hydrogen storage material, was studied as a function of the desorption temperature with Ti K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, Ti Kedge Xray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and XRD.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of XRD Rietveld analysis with an EXAFS study of a Y-doped reference compound and a Ce 0.5Zr0.5O2 catalyst showed that an anharmonic pair distribution function has to be used for the analysis of the second Zr−O bond.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed structural analysis of Mg-Ti-H thin films reveals the presence of a chemically partially segregated but structurally coherent metastable phase, which can be used for hydrogen storage beyond the limits imposed by thermodynamic equilibrium.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of in situ measured XANES spectra was performed to confirm the adsorption of propene on the gold and the mode of adaption was determined to be π-bonding.

TL;DR: In this paper, reductive deposition precipitation resulted in a close contact of tin with platinum and showed an improved selectivity for Cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation towards the desired cinnamyl alcohol as compared to the monometallic platinum catalyst and a bimetallic catalyst prepared by impregnation.
