abstract = {CONSPECTUS. Water splitting is intensively studied for
sustainable and effective energy storage in green /
alternative energy harvesting-storage-release cycles. In
this work, we present our recent developments for combining
liquid-jet microtechnology with different types of soft
X-ray spectroscopy at high flux X-ray sources, in particular
developed for studying the oxygen evolution reaction (OER).
We are particularly interested in the development of in-situ
photon-in / photon-out techniques, such as in-situ Resonant
Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) techniques at high
repetition frequency X-ray sources, pointing towards
operando capabilities. The pilot catalytic systems we use
are perovskites, with the general structure ABO3 with
lanthanides or group II elements on the A-site and
transition metals on the B-site. Depending on the chemical
substitutions of ABO3, their catalytic activity for OER can
composition-dependent be tuned. In this work, we present our
in-situ RIXS studies of the manganese L-edge of perovskites
during OER. We have developed various X-ray spectroscopy
approaches like transmission zone plate-, reflection zone
plate- and grating-based emission spectroscopy techniques.
Combined with tunable incidence X-ray energies, we yield
complementary information about changing (inverse) X-ray
absorption features of the perovskites allowing us to deduce
element- and oxidation-state-specific chemical monitoring of
the catalyst. Adding liquid jet technology, we monitor
element- and oxidation-state specific the catalyst with
water adsorbate during OER. By comparing the different
technical spectroscopy approaches combined with
high-repetition frequency experiments at synchrotrons and
free-electron lasers, we conclude that the combination of
liquid jet with low-resolution zone-plate based X-ray
spectroscopy are sufficient for element- and oxidation-state
specific chemical monitoring during OER and easy to handle.
For an in-depth study of OER mechanisms, however, including
the characterization of catalyst-water adsorbate as their
charge transfer properties and specially valence
intermediates formed during OER high-resolution spectroscopy
tools based on a combination of liquid jets with gratings
bear bigger potential since they allow to resolve otherwise
overlapping X-ray spectroscopy transitions. Common for all
experimental approaches is the conclusion that without the
versatile developments of liquid jets and liquid beam
technologies, elaborate experiments such as the highly
repetitive experiments at high flux X-ray sources (like
synchrotrons or free-electron lasers) would hardly be
possible. Such experiments allow a sample refreshment for
every single X-ray shot up to 5 MHz repetition frequencies
so that it is possible (a) to study X-ray
radiation-sensitive samples but also (b) utilize novel types
of flux-hungry X-ray spectroscopy tools like photon-in /
photon-out X-ray spectroscopy for studying the OER.},
