X-ray absorption study of Ti-activated sodium aluminum hydride
TLDR
In this article, the Ti valence and coordination in Ti-activated sodium alanate was explored using X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) and the Ti K-edge onset was established based on a set of standards.Abstract:
Ti K-edge x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) was used to explore the Ti valence and coordination in Ti-activated sodium alanate. An empirical relationship was established between the Ti valence and the Ti K-edge onset based on a set of standards. This relationship was used to estimate oxidation states of the titanium catalyst in 2 mol% and 4 mol% Ti-doped NaAlH4. These results demonstrate that the formal titanium valence is zero in doped sodium alanate and nearly invariant during hydrogen cycling. A qualitative comparison of the edge fine structure suggests that the Ti is present on the surface in the form of amorphous TiAl3.read more
