We propose a standard data format for the interchange of XAFS data. The XAFS Data Interchange (XDI) standard is meant to encapsulate a single spectrum of XAFS along with relevant metadata. XDI is a text-based format with a simple syntax which clearly delineates metadata from the data table in a way that is easily interpreted both by a computer and by a human. The metadata header is inspired by the format of an electronic mail header, representing metadata names and values as an associative array. The data table is represented as columns of numbers. This format can be imported as is into most existing XAFS data analysis, spreadsheet, or data visualization programs. Along with a specification and a dictionary of metadata types, we provide an application-programming interface written in C and bindings for programming dynamic languages.

X-ray spectromicroscopy is extensively utilized for nondestructive mapping of chemical states in materials. However, understanding and analyzing the geometric and topological aspects of such data pose challenges due to their representation in 4D space, encompassing (x, y, z) coordinates along with the energy (E) axis and often extending to 5D space with the inclusion of time (t) or reaction degree. In this study, we addressed this challenge by developing a new approach and introducing a device named `4D-XASView', specifically designed for visualizing X-ray absorption fine structures (XAFS) data in 4D (comprising 3D space and energy), through a multi-projection system, within the virtual reality (VR) environment.

Complementary X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and Raman spectroscopy studies were conducted on various UCl concentrations in alkali chloride salt compositions. The samples were 5 mol % UCl in LiCl (S1), 5 mol % UCl in KCl (S2), 5 mol % UCl in LiCl-KCl eutectic (S4), 50 mol % UCl in KCl (S5), and 20 mol % UCl in KCl (S6) molar concentrations. Samples were heated to 800 °C and allowed to cool to room temperature with measurements performed at selected temperatures; the highest temperatures showed the most stability and will be primarily referenced for conclusions.

The synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of a series of metal-organic gels (MOGs) constructed from titanium(IV)-oxo clusters and dicarboxylato linkers (benzene-1,4-dicarboxylato and 2-aminobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylato) are described. All the MOGs exhibit a microstructure comprised of metal-organic nanoparticles intertwined into a highly meso-/macroporous structure, as demonstrated by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy and gas adsorption isotherms. Comprehensive chemical characterization enabled the estimation of the complex formula for these defective materials, which exhibit low crystallinity and linker vacancies.

Spectral image (SI) measurement techniques, such as X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) imaging and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) or electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), are useful for identifying chemical structures in composite materials. Machine-learning techniques have been developed for automatic analysis of SI data and their usefulness has been proven. Recently, an extended measurement technique combining SI with a computed tomography (CT) technique (CT-SI), such as CT-XAFS and STEM-EDS/EELS tomography, was developed to identify the three-dimensional (3D) structures of chemical components.

Fe is usually adsorbed to the surface of iron-bearing clay, and iron (hydr)oxide in groundwater. However, the reductive activity of Fe(OH), a prevalent intermediate during the transformation of Fe, remains unclear. In this study, high-purity Fe(OH) was synthesized and tested for its activity in the degradation of carbon tetrachloride (CT).
