Ni K-edge XANES and EXAFS measurements performed at the Australian Synchrotron

This dataset contains Ni K-edge XANES and EXAFS measurements performed at the Australian Synchrotron. The materials tested were provided by a commercial client from China and analyzed as a paid service.

Two samples were studied:

CeNiOOH

Substrate loading: 10 mg cm⁻².

Electrolyte: 1 M KOH.

ICP composition: Ni ≈ 28 at%, Ce ≈ 1.8 at%.

Testing sequence:

CV from 0–0.65 V vs. Ag/AgCl at 50 mV s⁻¹.

Chronoamperometry at different potentials:
ocp
1.35 V vs. RHE

1.4 V vs. RHE (0.3724 V vs. Ag/AgCl) – first point.

1.5 V vs. RHE (0.4742 V vs. Ag/AgCl) – second point.

1.6 V vs. RHE (0.5742 V vs. Ag/AgCl) – third point.

MnNiOOH

Substrate loading: 10 mg cm⁻².

Electrolyte: 1 M KOH.

ICP composition: Ni ≈ 28 at%, Mn ≈ 1.9 at%.

Testing sequence:

CV from 0–0.65 V vs. Ag/AgCl at 50 mV s⁻¹.

Chronoamperometry at different potentials:
ocp
1.35 V vs. RHE

1.4 V vs. RHE (0.3242 V vs. Ag/AgCl) – first point.

1.5 V vs. RHE (0.4742 V vs. Ag/AgCl) – second point.

1.6 V vs. RHE (0.5742 V vs. Ag/AgCl) – third point.

Expected Results
For CeNiOOH, Ni valence states are expected to remain largely unchanged during OER potential increase, with minimal variation in coordination number. For MnNiOOH, Ni valence changes may be slightly larger than in CeNiOOH, but still relatively minor, with somewhat greater reduction in coordination number compared to CeNiOOH.
