TL;DR: Synchrotron-based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of three nitrogen-doped multilayer graphene samples reveal that oxygen reduction intermediate OH(ads), which should chemically attach to the active sites, remains on the carbon atoms neighboring pyridinic nitrogen after ORR.

TL;DR: In this article, two Eucalyptus wood biochars were incubated separately in each of the four contrasting soils for up to 2 years at 20°C, 40°C and 60°C.

TL;DR: The Soft X-ray beamline at the Australian synchrotron has been constructed around a collimated light Plane Grating Monochromator taking light from an EPU as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Li-rich layered oxides are promising cathode materials for next-generation Li-ion batteries because of their extraordinary specific capacity, but the activation process of the key active component LiMnO in Li-rich materials is kinetically slow, and the complex phase transformation with electrode/electrolyte side reactions causes fast capacity/voltage fading as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: An analysis program for near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectra has been developed and implemented at the soft X-rays beamline of the Australian Synchrotron and performs simple compositional analysis and peak fitting.
