a Schematic illustration of the ligand-exchanged processes and the crystal structure of Ni-DMF. b Stack analyses of Ni-DMF detected by STXM. c Aligned average values of O K-edge spectra of Ni-H2O, Ni-activated, and Ni-DMF. d Coordination structures and adsorption Gibbs free energy (ΔGr) change during ligand-exchanged processes calculated using DFT. e XANES analyses of Ni L3-edge for Ni-H2O and Ni-DMF and corresponding charge interaction between Ni and surrounding ligands.
