Dear Scott,
We have done some time-resolved XAFS measurements on aqueous solution of
Ru(II)(bpy)3 complex using free-flowing jet. It forms a liquid sheet of
approx. 100 microns thickness and thus you can avoid windows etc.
However you might run into some trouble when using in vacuum. In
principle you can find many manufacturers who provide these kinds of
jets equipped with sapphire nozzles for dye lasers. I know that some of
these jets are also used for cutting and polishing jewelry...if you need
any more details you could look up our paper about the setup: M. Saes et
al., Rev. Sci. Instrum., 75(2004), 24-30.
I hope it helps,
Wojciech Gawelda

Hi all,
I've been doing a literature search for an article I'm writing up, and I can't seem to find any examples of an XAS flow cell desgined for liquids. Sealed cells for liquids, yes; flow cells for passing gases over solids, yes; but no solution-chemistry flow cell. I feel like someone must have published work in that area before, but I can't seem to find it.
So, does anyone know of any work done using a liquid-phase XAS flow cell?
Simon Bare uses a flow cell for passing liquids/gasses over a sample.
This one is a glass container with kapton windows with ports for input
and output. Also I have seen something like that at PNC cat. I think
that Ed Stern et. al. was using it. The one at PNC cat circulated the
liquid through a boron carbide section that is x-ray transparent.

We (Penner-Hahn group) have done solution EXAFS measurement and
time-resolved XAS at Bio-CAT at the APS. A Kapton tube is used for
x-ray window and connected to PE tubes using epoxy glue.

Just to follow up on and add to Shelly's and Tsu-Chien's responses:
There's a paper by M. Hoffmann, et al (J. Fulton, and others from PNNL) on a flow-cell, especially for high pressure fluids. I believe it's in J Phys Chem (1999), but don't have the exact citation. This might be the one Shelly saw at PNC CAT.
Mark Antonio has a nice electrochemical cell in which he can change both potential, but can't remember if he can flow in a changed solution... is that "flow"?
I believe the catalyst people who run at ESRF (esp. the DXAFS line) have some nice flow cells too, but don't know if or where it's published.

Maybe not exactly a flow cell, but a rapid biblio research on "Web of Science" using the"stopped-flow" and "EXAFS or XAS or XANES" keywords has unearthed some 23 references over the last ten years, many of them probably utterly irrelevant. Nevertheless, I copied them in the attached text file. Best regards, Michel Schlegel
