Operando X-ray absorption spectra and mass spectrometry data during hydrogenation of ethylene over palladium nanoparticles.

We report the series of Pd K-edge X-ray absorption spectra collected during hydrogenation of ethylene with variable ethylene/hydrogen ratio over carbon supported palladium nanoparticles. The data presented in this article includes normalized X-ray absorption spectra, k 2-weighted oscillatory χ(k) functions extracted from the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and k 2-weighted Fourier-transformed EXAFS data, χ(R). Each spectrum is reported together with the hydrogen, ethylene and helium flow rates, adjusted during its collection. In addition, time evolution of the ratio of m/Z signals of 30 and 28 registered by online mass spectrometer is presented. The data analysis is reported in Bugaev et al., Catal. Today, 2019 [1].
