(a) Comparison of P K-edge X-ray absorption spectra collected experimentally from the as-prepared Ni–P nanoparticles (Ni–P NPs) and calculated theoretically for the crystalline Ni3P. Two main absorption features occurred at 2147.3 eV (P 1s → P 3p) and 2153.3 eV (P 1s → Ni 4p) are shown in the inset. (b) Comparison of P K-edge Fourier transform spectra corresponding to the two X-ray absorption spectra in (a). (c) Comparison of P K-edge Fourier transform spectra between experimental data and fitting curve with a single P–Ni shell for the as-prepared Ni–P nanoparticles. (d) Comparison of P K-edge XAFS spectra between the experimental data and fitting curve with a single P–Ni shell for the as-prepared Ni–P nanoparticles. |
