High-energy resolution X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy reveals insight into unique selectivity of La-based nanoparticles for CO2

TL;DR: The position of the different constituents within the unit cell of monoclinic La2O2CO3 is determined and this information is used to interpret in situ high-energy resolution fluorescence-detected (HERFD) X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and valence-to-coreX-ray emission spectroscopy (vtc XES).
